SASE - The solution to the security challenges of modern business
The digitalization of the business world has changed the playing field significantly, offering both new opportunities and challenges. One of the key challenges that organizations face is ensuring information security in a rapidly changing digital environment, such as hybrid working. Secure Access Service Edge, more commonly known as SASE, offers an innovative approach to managing an organization's information security and networks.
In this article, we will explore what SASE means and how it helps businesses secure their data in the modern business world.
What is SASE?
SASE, is an innovative approach to information security and network management. It combines multiple security and network services into a single entity that provides protection for all of an organization's digital operations. SASE enables secure and efficient access to business-critical applications and data from anywhere, at any time.
How does SASE work?
SASE integrates several key components, such as SD-WAN, FWaaS, SWG, ZTNA, and SDP.
These components together form an effective and flexible security solution.
Software-Defined Wide Area Networking(SD-WAN) enables the efficient control and optimization of traffic across an organization's
extended network. It improves performance and reduces costs.
Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) provides real-time protection for network traffic. It filters malicious traffic and blocks unwanted threats.
Secure Web Gateway(SWG) Protects users from malicious websites and threats, increasing an organization's security on the internet.
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) ensures that users have tightly defined secure access to organizational resources, regardless
of where they are located – without unnecessary round-trip VPN traffic.
Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) provides granular access control and better protects an organization's data.

Absolute benefits
Better than usual protection
By combining different security technologies into a single cloud-managed entity, SASE enables business continuity and data security in a modern digital environment.
Designed to support hybrid work
Enterprise-grade security for all users, no matter where they are. This eliminates the need for unnecessary VPN traffic routing, a typical challenge for traditional radial networks that do not scale effectively to the needs of remote workers.
Better user experience
Through intelligent, real-time user protection management, SASE reduces latency and reduces an organization's attack surface.
Agility and scalability
Being cloud-based, SASE offers full scalability, allowing the system to grow as the organization grows.
Lower IT costs and simpler management
Reduces the number of security solutions needed, leading to lower IT costs and simpler management.
