It checks each device before allowing it on your network. That way, you can stop worrying about scaling issues or logging into different cloud portals.<\/em><\/p>\n

What problem does SASE tackle?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We have been using a lot of different security and connectivity solutions over the past few years, and for each technology we have been searching for the best-of-breed solution. Just think of the following scenario: a corporation with 25 different sites that need to be connected to each other. This is either done with traditional (expensive) MPLS connections, or they are already using a SD-WAN solution. Now, all the sites are connected to each other, but there is no security in place. Off we go, adding a NextGen Firewall or UTM firewall depending on the requirements of the site.<\/p>\n

Great, connectivity and network security are handled now. That\u2019s it, right? Well, no. There\u2019s more to come. As there are a significant number of users that needed to connect from their laptop or mobile device when they are on the road, the company also invested in a VPN Concentrator. Once the pandemic hit, and everyone needed to work from home, their on-premises hardware device has been pushed to the limit of its capabilities. \u00a0So having all these different point solutions leads to a substantial overhead in vendor evaluation, procurement, troubleshooting, maintaining the all the different solutions, creating a substantial hidden cost.<\/p>\n
