This blog captures a presentation delivered by Versa’s Chief Marketing Officer at RSAC 2025. Presented live at the Versa booth, it outlines why SASE is transforming enterprise security – and how Versa uniquely delivers on that transformation with its unified, AI-powered platform.
Enterprises have bought into the benefits of SASE. When implemented right, with the right vendor, it makes the network more efficient and more secure while reducing total cost of ownership. A win, win, win! According to a recent press release by Dell’Oro Group the 5-Year SASE Forecast Reaches $97B. But why is single vendor unified SASE significantly more beneficial than just SDWAN + SSE from different vendors? The many issues stem from the fact that it requires twice the effort to use two separate products along with the need for customization where integration points are not standards based. Training, provisioning,…
Parts 1, Part 2, Part 3 focused on visibility, policy, and inspection. Now we are moving into infrastructure. Once AI is in production, model calls become critical traffic. If those calls bypass governance, you lose policy enforcement, visibility, cost control, and consistent inspection. A Model Gateway solves that by acting as the front door for model access. 1) What a Model Gateway is (plain English) A Model Gateway is the “front door” for model traffic. Instead of every team calling model vendors directly, all model requests go through one controlled layer. A Model Gateway can: If a model is the…
As we head into 2026, innovation will be shaped by three shifts: the reshaping of traffic flows through AI-driven edge computing, the decoupling of users from devices through enterprise browsers, and the emergence of real governance boundaries for autonomous AI inside the enterprise. The organizations that win won’t just adopt new tools, they’ll embrace them by modernizing architectures, strengthening security foundations, and defining clear guardrails for AI.
Prompt inspection is not just “keyword filtering.” It is security inspection for AI interactions. The goal is to stop AI from becoming a silent data leak path or a pathway to unsafe actions.
Distributed intelligent computing has arrived. Processing power, data, and intelligence are no longer confined to centralized cloud or data centers. Instead, they are distributed across data centers, cloud, edge locations, campuses, branches, and even devices. While prior phases of computing, internet, mobility, and cloud fundamentally reshaped how we live and work, this next phase is poised to have an even more profound impact.
Recent reporting on VoidLink, a Linux malware framework reportedly developed almost entirely with the assistance of generative AI, marks a structural shift in the threat landscape. According to coverage in CSO Online, VoidLink’s development cycle, code organization, and modular design strongly suggest AI-assisted creation — compressing what historically required months of coordinated engineering into days of automated iteration. This is where Versa SASE, combined with GenAI usage controls, provides a grounded and enforceable defensive posture.
We are excited to announce a powerful integration between Versa Networks and 10T Solutions. This industry-leading innovation brings native multi-carrier 10T eSIM connectivity directly to Versa Secure SD-WAN appliances. Enterprises are rapidly adopting cellular connectivity to accelerate branch deployments, support mobile operations, and ensure business continuity.
In 2025, Versa became the first SASE vendor to introduce Sovereign SASE, creating a model specifically designed to meet jurisdictional, regulatory, and operational sovereignty requirements. You likely already know that traditional cloud and SASE platforms, while globally scalable, often don’t provide the level of control you need if you operate in regulated industries or public sector environments. For many organizations like yours, simply knowing where data resides is no longer enough.
Control means setting clear rules for AI usage and enforcing them in a way that does not break the business. This is the point where many companies get stuck. Some teams over-block and kill adoption. Other teams do nothing and accept silent risk. The goal is neither. The goal is safe adoption by default.
AI is showing up everywhere in the enterprise sometimes through approved tools and sometimes through “shadow AI.” The first step to securing it is simple: if you cannot see AI usage, you cannot secure it. This post explains what to discover, why it is hard, and what to do in the first 30 days.
