Enterprises are increasingly modernizing by moving their applications portfolio and data to the cloud. To achieve organizational freedom of choice, cost efficiency and global coverage, it is often attractive to use services from multiple different cloud vendors. Yet all these disconnected cloud environments—each with its own tools and nuances—must come together in a single fabric that enforces security, optimizes user experience through efficient best-path routing, maintains uninterrupted access, and simplifies orchestration. This cannot be achieved with sub-optimal backhauling of traffic anchored to an on-prem data center with traditional FW and security devices. Traffic must flow directly from user to cloud…

It’s never been easier to launch a cloud service; or to consume such a service. No-friction SaaS applications compete on features because no central network planning or sales cycle is required any longer. Often SaaS applications are sold into a team or a department. Other applications—Dropbox, OneDrive—are picked up by users simply because they significantly enhance worker productivity.

Many large enterprises consider their internal networks safe—protected by perimeter firewalls and VPN solutions—and that security threats are primarily present external to their networks. In reality, the enterprise network attack surface has experienced a multifold expansion brought about by trends in work-from-anywhere, Direct Internet Access (DIA), application-and-data migration into the cloud, BYOD, IoT, and increasingly sophisticated hacker attacks with lateral movement. Corporate “internal” networks are often as insecure as “external” networks, if you can even still find the borders between these. ZTNA is a modern network architecture that brings back the security essential to your corporate network. The approach is…

Gartner announced that Versa Networks is once again a Leader in the Magic Quadrant WAN Edge Infrastructure report. WAN Edge Infrastructure is defined as “products and associated functions that provide network connectivity across the WAN” that includes “incumbent and emerging vendors from adjacent markets (e.g., routing, security, WAN optimization and SD-WAN), each bringing differentiators and limitations. It also includes zero trust network access (ZTNA) functionality for remote workers in lieu of traditional virtual private network (VPN) solutions as part of SASE, which combines SD-WAN and cloud security into an integrated, orchestrated architecture.”
