Buyer’s Guide - Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) And Secure Service Edge (SSE)

 

SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) rolls networking and security into a cloud service, making it easier for enterprises to provide simple, secure access to corporate resources. Many vendors offer SASE services, but what they actually provide and how they provide it varies widely.

A recent Gartner survey of CISOs revealed that “a majority of buyers are planning for a two-vendor strategy for SASE,” with security and networking teams making separate buying decisions rather than opting for single-vendor SASE. In response to these realities, Gartner coined a new term, secure service edge (SSE), which is essentially SASE minus SDWAN (Software Define Wide Area Network), the network access part of the equation.

What Is SASE And It's Impact On SDWAN? (VIDEO)

 SASE, or Secure Access Service Edge, is a cloud-based networking architecture that combines security and network. SASE intends to target networking and security challenges that WAN and SD-WAN can’t fully address. SASE touts a global SD-WAN footprint, distributed inspection and policy enforcement, a cloud architecture, and services based on the connection identity and context.

SASE is still an emerging market, but it intends to reduce complexity and cost, improve performance, and more.
