What is SASE (Secure Access Service Edge)?
With the widespread use of applications and users, security complexity rises and threats escalate. SASE makes it easier to protect your network and connect securely from anywhere.
The SASE solution is a package that combines networking and security components. SASE integrates full network security features including SWG, CASB, FWaaS, and ZTNA with extensive SD-WAN capabilities.
These elements are designed to meet the evolving, expanding, and distributed security requirements of businesses worldwide.

Core Components of SASE
How does SASE work?
The four key elements are:
Firewall as a service (FWaas)
The increasing number of applications and users necessitates the management of numerous firewalls. Centralised firewalls can negatively impact user performance and security. Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS) offers a cloud-based solution, allowing easy deployment and management from a single platform.
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
ZTNA is a secure approach for distributed environments. It requires users to authenticate through a gateway to access applications, focusing on policy, identity, and content. ZTNA restricts access unless it is approved. Its integration into a single SASE package streamlines policy creation, management, and enforcement. By integrating networking and security services into a single cloud framework, ZTNA reduces the complexity of gateway connections.
Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
Application control, threat prevention, data security, enterprise-cloud traffic, and loss prevention are all protected by CASB. To improve visibility and guarantee data security, it gives administrators a single platform to handle security controls for various application types.
Secure Web Gateway (SWG)
Advanced Threat Protection, SSL Proxy, URL Filtering, IDS/IPS, NG-AV, and Data Loss Prevention are all included in SWG with SASE, an entire web security solution. It offers total traffic tracking and control, regardless of staff locations, and it automatically expands to accommodate expansion as required.
SD-WAN vs. SASE
SD-WAN provides the foundation by smartly routing traffic across multiple connections, like broadband and mobile connections. It ensures important applications get the best paths, improving speed and reliability for branch offices and remote users.
SASE adds security on top of this by applying consistent, cloud-delivered protections wherever users are, no matter their location.
In a unified setup, SD-WAN and SASE work together through a single management system, making it easier to control traffic and security.
SD-WAN directs the traffic like a highway system, while SASE acts as the security guard protecting every connection.
SD-WAN and SASE seamlessly integrate to build a secure, flexible, and efficient network that supports today’s cloud-centric business demands.
