The Complexity Tax: What Enterprise Fragmentation Is Actually Costing You
By Dan Maier

May 12, 2026
Thirty-five percent of organizations surveyed for Versa’s inaugural Annual State of SASE + AI Report, “The Cost of Complexity suffered a security breach in the past year that was directly caused or worsened by poor coordination between networking and security teams. Not by a sophisticated nation-state actor. Not by a zero-day exploit. By the seam between two teams that report to different people, fund different tools, and measure success differently.

Beyond Security: How Agentic AI is Redefining Infrastructure Operations
By Rajesh Kari
Director, Product Marketing
April 23, 2026
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping infrastructure operations. Much of the early focus has been on transforming security operations including automating threat detection, accelerating response times, and reducing security analyst fatigue. While these advancements are essential, they address only part of the problem. Modern enterprises operate highly distributed environments where network performance, application delivery, and user experience are just as critical as security. Limiting AI transformation to security operations alone is no longer sufficient. Enterprises today require a unified operational model that spans network operations, security enforcement, user experience, and infrastructure management. The real opportunity is not just to make security…

Dell’Oro Group is putting a sharper name on something enterprise teams have been feeling for a while: in the AI era, the “WAN” cannot be a collection of loosely coupled products anymore. It has to operate like one end-to-end system with one policy model, one telemetry story, and one operational workflow.

Securing Enterprise GenAI: From Visibility to Control with Versa Unified SASE
By Dhiraj Sehgal
Senior Director, Product Marketing
March 27, 2026
Generative AI is rapidly becoming embedded in enterprise workflows. Developers use it for code generation, analysts rely on it for research, and business teams leverage it for content creation and productivity. While the efficiency gains are significant, generative AI also introduces a new class of security risks that traditional security architectures were never designed to address.

Part 5 — Securing Tool Access: MCP Server and MCP Gateway (The “Hands” Control Point)
By Kumar Mehta
Founder and CDO, Versa Networks
March 18, 2026
Most AI incidents don’t start with “bad answers.” They start with “the AI took an action it shouldn’t have.”
That is why tool access matters as much as model access.

Part 4. Securing Model Access: Model Gateway and LLM Proxy (The “Brain” Control Point)
By Kumar Mehta
Founder and CDO, Versa Networks
March 11, 2026
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…

Three predictions that will reshape enterprise security and operations in 2026
By Kelly Ahuja
CEO, Versa Networks
March 6, 2026
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.
