The way to shrink it back to a manageable size is with effective network security solutions, which in their own right require an evolution from legacy security appliances to a secure access service edge (SASE) architecture. The security inspection tools see everything on the network, not just logs.

These drivers, though, also come with baggage: the reassessment of todays corporate security model. Traditionally, Wide Area Networks (WANs) and network security were loosely coupled entities. Instead, we must bring networking and security disciplines closer together.

A paralegal opened up a phishing email attachment and her, anti-virus protected, PC disk was maliciously encrypted by Cryptowall malware. The ransomware has to connect to its C2 (Command and Control) server to get the encryption key pair generated and the public key delivered to the machine. What is common to all of these capabilities?

Integrated Network Security SD-WAN edge solutions can provide direct Internet access at the branch. However, they typically do not include a full network security stack and require customers either to deploy additional security solutions at every location, backhaul traffic to a datacenter, or use cloud-based security services.

Since the beginning of networks, the lynchpin of network security has been the firewall. The first network firewalls appeared in the late 1980s, and gained almost universal acceptance by the early 1990s. FWaaS eliminates those issues by uniformly applying the security policy on all traffic, for all locations and users.

With a VPN, all communication between the user and the VPN is encrypted. The encryption process takes time, and depending on the type of encryption used, this may add noticeable latency to Internet communications. This granular-level security is part of the identity-driven approach to network access that SASE demands.
