In Defense of SD-WAN and the Power of Zero Trust Everywhere
I recently read an article in CRN where Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudhry stated that he’s not a believer in SASE because he thinks “SD-WAN is anti-zero trust.” I respect Jay immensely, but I must respectfully disagree with this statement.

Simplify And Secure Multi-Cloud Connectivity for Branch and Corporate Offices

April 20, 2022
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…

CASB: An Integral Part of Network Security

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. Central IT often has no knowledge that these applications are used, how they’re used, or by whom. Traditional perimeter firewalls protect applications and data stored within your on-prem network. FWs additionally filter applications and URLs accessed outside the enterprise. But data stored…

By The Versa Team
Universal SASE leaders
April 3, 2022
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…
