Why do you need a SASE RFP? Shopping for a SASE solution isnt as easy as it sounds… SASE is an enterprise networking and security framework that is relatively new to the enterprise IT market (introduced by Gartner in 2019.) And less than 3 years young, SASE is often prone to misunderstanding and vendor marketecture.

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.
