Frequently Asked Questions
Questions? We have answers!
Why do I need SASE?
SASE is necessary for today’s modern client-to-cloud era, enabling effective cloud adoption and digital transformation, consistent cloud performance for WFA and mobile users, ubiquitous policy enforcement across your network, securing unmanaged devices, sophisticated and up-to-date threat intelligence, and simplifying IT management.
What does SASE stand for?
SASE stands for Secure Access Service Edge, which is a cloud-delivered architecture that combines networking and security services into a unified platform.
What are SASE components?
The primary components include SD-WAN, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Firewall as a Service (FWaaS), Secure Web Gateways (SWG), Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB), Remote Browser Isolation (RBI), application aware routing, and granular analytics.
I already have a VPN, why do I need SASE?
Work-from-Anywhere and applications hosted anywhere change the paradigm of how, when, and where to secure network traffic.
Traditional VPNs are no longer sufficient. They are anchored to physical sites, and lack automation, real-time analytics, and the tools needed to contain and provide remediation steps for a potential threat.
How is SASE different from a VPN?
VPNs primarily provide network access on-premises. SASE provides secure access built for cloud-based environments including Zero Trust policies, cloud security, application optimization, and centralized management.
