Your Next Firewall Refresh Is a Strategic Decision, Not a Renewal
Firewall refresh cycles feel like renewal paperwork—but they’re actually your best window to rethink security architecture. With switching costs at their lowest, this is the moment to move beyond legacy perimeter defense or poor device performance toward Zero Trust, SASE, and consolidated platforms, delivering higher performance at lower cost. Get the 6-step roadmap for a refresh that pays off for years.
Versa and Infoblox: Closing the Gap Between SD-WAN and DDI
SD-WAN and DDI have long operated as disconnected silos — leaving IT teams to manually configure branches, manage failover by hand, and diagnose IP conflicts without unified visibility. The Versa and Infoblox integration changes that with automated, template-driven workflows and built-in resilience.
Introducing Versa Privileged Access Controls with Client-less ZTNA
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) has become the standard architecture for securing private application access in distributed enterprises. Traditionally, most ZTNA implementations depend on endpoint agents installed on user devices to establish secure, policy-aware tunnels into enterprise environments. While this works well for managed corporate devices, it creates friction in scenarios where deploying an endpoint client is impractical—or simply undesirable.
Closing the Cloud Security Posture Management Gap with Versa CSPM
Today’s environments span multi-cloud infrastructure, SaaS ecosystems, remote endpoints, and an increasing layer of AI-driven applications and integrations. This expansion has introduced a new class of challenges—not just scale, but visibility.
Built to Innovate: How Versa’s Engineering DNA Keeps Rewriting What’s Possible
There is a particular kind of engineer drawn to building networks in software. They tend to be restless. They see the network not as fixed infrastructure, but as something programmable, something that should adapt to the business rather than force the business to adapt to it.
Automating Branch-to-Cloud Connectivity and Security: Versa Secure SD-WAN Integration with Zscaler Internet Access
We’re excited to introduce an automated integration between Versa Secure SD-WAN and Zscaler that makes dual-vendor SASE faster, secure and resilient. This integration helps you secure local internet breakout, improve user experience and simplify operations
Building Secure, AI-Optimized Data Centers: A Blueprint for CIOs and Network Architects
Artificial Intelligence is pushing enterprise data centers to their limits and most aren’t ready. As organizations deploy GPU-packed clusters and scale out AI inference, traditional architectures struggle to deliver the performance, scalability, and uncompromising security that modern AI demands. Regulated industry-based Enterprises or those with critical intellectual property or sensitive information are not willing to put their sensitive data on third-party clouds or AI applications hosted elsewhere.
Introducing the Versa Secure Enterprise Browser Early Access Program — Sign Up for Early Access
The browser is the primary enterprise workspace, but most security controls stop at the network or endpoint layer. Versa Secure Enterprise Browser brings Zero Trust enforcement directly into the browser session. Join the Early Access Program to secure SaaS, GenAI, and BYOD access within the Versa SASE platform.
Delivering Uninterrupted Enterprise 5G Connectivity with Versa and 10T Solutions
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.
Introducing Sovereign SASE as a Service
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.

Private SASE – For Those Who Need to Build Their Own!
By Anuj Dutia
VP, Global Solutions Strategy
February 15, 2024
Introduction: Interest in SASE has exploded with CIOs and CISOs alike. The promise of dramatic cost reductions, security improvements and improved agility delivered by a converged networking (SD-WAN) and security (SSE) infrastructure is compelling. However, today’s SASE solutions are commonly delivered on a shared global infrastructure of PoPs provisioned by a handful of technology vendors. This approach doesn’t always meet everyone’s requirements. A “shared” SASE approach is generally good enough for many companies, delivering unified networking and security capabilities with fast time to market and cloud/SaaS economics. But because these shared services lack any ability to control and manage service…

Three Reasons Why Zero Trust Edge Will Supercharge the U.S. Department of Defense’s Move to a Zero Trust Architecture
By Imran Umar (Vice President, Booz Allen) and Kelly Ahuja (CEO, Versa Networks)
January 17, 2024
Cyber adversaries will stop at nothing to compromise any military systems, data, and missions. That’s why the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) is adopting zero trust—a security framework that presumes networks are compromised and counters threats by design. All DOD organizations are expected to achieve “Target Level” Zero Trust Architecture by 2027. This requires multiple security functions to identify, authenticate, and authorize users or devices based on posture to securely connect to applications. As a result, the DOD turned to Booz Allen and Versa Networks to develop a security hardened Zero Trust Edge approach that will transform the DOD’s infrastructure…
