Incorporating the Internet into the enterprise network reduces costs and lets companies connect resources anywhere, but security is paramount. Theyve dubbed this converged architecture SASE, or secure access service edge. SASE moves security out of the legacy datacenter and closer to where users, data and applications reside today.

A remote access VPN creates an encrypted tunnel between a remote worker and the enterprise network. VPNs in general are designed to create an encrypted tunnel between two points. Each endpoint of the VPN connection will use this shared encryption key to encrypt the traffic sent to the other endpoint and decrypt traffic sent to them.
