As SASE becomes more widely adopted in the industry, there are wide discrepancies in the use of the term. In its August 2019 report, The Future of Network Security Is in the Cloud, Gartner saw SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) as creating a single network for the complete enterprise, connecting and securing all edges everywhere.

Security must be an inherent part of the network, which is why Gartner expects networking and security to converge. 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 virtual private network (VPN) is a solution designed to securely connect a remote user to the enterprise network. 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.

Other choices include appliance-based SD-WAN and SASE. 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. VPNs are certainly one option, but not the only one.

Security is a considerable concern when VPNs are used. While the tunnel itself is encrypted, the traffic traveling within that tunnel is not inspected for malware or other threats. To maintain security, the traffic must be routed through a security stack at its terminus on the network.

Encrypt Data, Not Just the Tunnel Most remote access solutions create an encrypted point-to-point tunnel to carry the communications payload. The data payload itself must also be encrypted for strong security. Security is still a considerable concern when VPNs are used. This is good, but not good enough.
