The Network Is The First Line Of Defense – It’s Time To Treat It That Way
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Requires a New Approach to Network Security
Reimagining the Edge: From Network Appliance to Application Platform
For years, the enterprise edge has been treated as a fixed-function domain, purpose-built appliances focused solely on connectivity and security. But that model is no longer sufficient. As applications become distributed, AI workloads move closer to users, and real-time processing becomes critical, the edge must evolve from a transport layer into a flexible, intelligent platform.
What Enterprises Are Really Saying About AI Security
Shadow AI, prompt-level data leakage, agent-to-agent traffic — here’s what security and network executives are actually prioritizing around AI governance, and the 4 questions every platform must answer.
What is Workspace Security?
“What Is Workspace Security? Learn how Workspace Security, operating within the broader Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) framework, unites advanced security and networking technologies to safeguard users, devices, applications, and data. From enabling Zero Trust principles to incorporating tools like SWG, CASB, ZTNA, DLP, and DEM, explore how Workspace Security helps organizations protect distributed workforces while enabling productivity and collaboration. Discover why Versa is a leader in SASE innovation for modern enterprises.
Building Operational Resilience in SSE: How Versa Networks Delivers Business Continuity at Scale
As enterprises embrace hybrid work and cloud-first strategies, Unified SASE’s Security Service Edge (SSE) features have become the backbone of secure connectivity. SSE unifies key capabilities — such as secure web gateway (SWG), cloud access security broker (CASB), zero trust network access (ZTNA), and data loss prevention (DLP) — into a single, cloud-delivered architecture.
AI-Era Networking: Why Deep, Real-Time Visibility Is Now Non-Negotiable
Learn how AI is necessary to provide the deep observability and visibility into network and application performance for a exceptional user experience and zero outage branch.
Versa and CrowdStrike: Stronger Together for Unified Endpoint and Network Security
Cyber threats today are faster, stealthier, and more adaptive than ever before. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) has become a critical line of defense. However, it’s not enough on its own. Network-layer controls must work hand-in-hand with endpoint intelligence to stop attackers before they can move laterally, exfiltrate data, or disrupt operations.
Agentic AI in NetOps: The Next Big Leap for Network Operations
Learn how Agentic AI transforms NetOps from automation to autonomy. Discover how self-healing, AI-driven networks cut downtime, boost security, and reduce costs.
Is Your Enterprise Network Ready for AI? Key Findings from EMA Research
Discover how enterprises are preparing their networks for AI. EMA’s research reveals critical insights on SD-WAN, SASE, security, and observability.
How Networking Improves Your Cybersecurity Posture
Traditionally, networking and security have operated as separate silos within enterprise IT. Networking was focused on providing connectivity, while security was tasked with protecting that connectivity.

May 14, 2020
As new applications move to the cloud, the need for more granular data and analytics follow in order to measure the rate of acceleration of SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) access. While CRM represents the largest of the SaaS markets, other segments such as digital marketing and collaboration, are both seeing a rapid shift from on-premises to the cloud, much of which can be attributed to the strong focus service providers are placing on edge-network agility in rapidly making new functionality available to customers. In a recent Gartner survey assessing the impetus for the surge in SaaS migration, over 440 SaaS strategy decision…

Best Practices for the Enterprise (Part 3) Multi-tiered Architecture
By Neil Danilowicz
Principal Architect
November 6, 2019
Welcome to the Third installment of the Enterprise Best Practices Blog. My name is Neil Danilowicz, Principal Architect for Versa Networks. This week we will focus on why the Enterprise should require a secure multi-tiered architecture for their SD-WAN solution.So why is a secure multi-tiered architecture a requirement for Enterprise deployment of SD-WAN? Historically, Enterprises would contract with a service provider to purchase private circuits (MPLS, PIP, or dedicated TDM circuits) to provide secure private connectivity between their branches and data centers. If an Enterprise required access to the Internet or remote networks, demilitarized zones (DMZs) were established to vet…

Hello, and welcome to the second installment of the Enterprise Best Practices Blog. My name is Neil Danilowicz, Principal Architect for Versa Networks. This week I would like to focus on Keys – their importance to SD-Wan and why an Enterprise should be concerned about the keys. As we all know, every Enterprise has both public and private information. And it is the duty of the Enterprise to protect private information, be it intellectual property (IP), financial information, customer subscription information, payment history, or other information that must be protected due to regulations (both industry standard and governmental). Protecting information…

August 13, 2019
SD-WAN has many capabilities that address the challenges associated with complex network edge infrastructure. Specifically, central configuration and management, zero-touch branch deployment, and automatic monitoring and path selection. SD-WAN’s ability to optimize pathways for different traffic types is a key advantage, which benefits IT with greater efficiencies, and unprecedented WAN flexibility, availability, reliability and performance. Today’s advanced cloud-managed SD-WAN solutions give enterprises the ability to dynamically connect branch offices, on-premises data centers, public/private cloud and SaaS, on a global scale. Removed are the carrier dependencies and resource restrictions that used to limit the way enterprises consume applications. Leveraging multiple links…
