This phenomenon is highly applicable to many IT transformations such as cloud migration and move to hybrid work, but even more so to SASE (Secure Access Service Edge). The Tactical Start The ripple effect of SASE often starts small, typically focused on a single use case like modernizing WAN infrastructure.

Traditional firewall security simply cant keep up with the challenges created by these new network paradigms. As a result, when I discuss firewall security with enterprises today, there are three reoccurring themes: visibility, scalability, and convergence. Lets find out.

Firewalls – the foundation of an organizations network security strategy – filters network traffic and can enforce an organizations security rules. By limiting the traffic that enters and leaves or enters an organizations network, a firewall can dramatically reduce its vulnerability to data breaches and other cyberattacks.

One of these new innovations technologies is SASE (Secure Access Service Edge). What is SASE? SASE is an enterprise networking and security category that converges network and security technologies into a single, cloud-native service. As a result, SASE is gaining momentum across multiple industries, including manufacturing.

SASE technology can help address these issues, making SASE adoption a goal for many organizations worldwide. One popular strategy is to ease into SASE by starting with security service edge (SSE) , a building block of SASE which integrates security capabilities directly into the network edge, close to where users or devices connect.

For all of its talk, SASE as understood by much of the industry, will not completely replace a global MPLS network; the Internet is simply too unpredictable for that. Only by converging SASE with NaaS can companies eliminate costly, legacy MPLS services. Its why SASE has emerged to be such a dominant force.
