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.
