Versa’s consumption-based Sovereign SASE model offers compliance, control, and cost efficiency without heavy upfront investments.
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.
Versa announced last week the general availability of Versa Sovereign SASE – it’s the culmination of work done with early adopters over the past two years, including already-up-and-running deployments by organizations in the defense, financial services, maritime, energy, and retail industries. This also includes several service providers who’ve announced their own SASE offerings riding on a Versa Sovereign SASE implementation – like T-Mobile SASE, Tata Communications Hosted SASE, Lumen SASE, and Crown Castle SASE.
This past week was the inaugural conference for Versa Networks – celebrating both product innovations this past year as well as key customer stories. Versa global customers came onto the virtual big stage to discuss how they were able to reap tremendous benefits from switching to Versa. Versa engineering leaders showcased the new and exciting features that are available with Versa SASE using hands-on, live demonstrations within the Versa management console.
Advanced initiatives can sometimes require large IT departments to research, design, build, and deploy. Not every enterprise has the resources and specialized staff to do this in a cost and time-efficient manner. MSPs (Managed Service Providers) can be very helpful in improving SASE deployment scalability when enterprises do not want or cannot implement SASE by themselves.
Last week, Microsoft released an important blog that details that details how HAFNIUM, a state-sponsored threat actor operating out of China, exploited Microsoft Exchange Servers with zero-day exploits along with other code execution vulnerabilities in the Sharepoint software. Microsoft advises that these patches are only intended to be a temporary fix. Customers are still required to update their software to the latest version and apply any relevant security patches to their server.
Backed by a solid strategy and working with our global partners, key stakeholders, and colleagues, we successfully executed on delivering Versa’s new global channel program, the Versa ACE Partner Program. Much like a conductor who collaborates with all the sections of an orchestra to make beautiful music for all to appreciate, Versa combines all the moving pieces together to form the Versa ACE Partner Program.
The SolarWinds attack leaves many unanswered questions and the most prominent amongst them is the question of how the attacker entered internal systems of SolarWinds network and was able to infiltrate and move inconspicuously across the development chain. The malware was able to camouflage its activity among the highly secure network of the prominent organization for an extended period of time, evading all their security detection and prevention defenses. In this particular blog, our team will mainly focus on the chain of events that occurred, and the evasive methods employed to remain completely stealthy despite moving around and compromising a highly secure network environment.

Technology changes rapidly as new products, features, and benefits constantly flood the industry; all of which promise a brighter, better, and easier tomorrow. With so many changes and promises, one thing I’ve consistently run into in the networking industry is that many of these features and capabilities often go unused, or even more frequently are used incorrectly, so that their benefits aren’t seen. When product features and capabilities go unused, disappointing performance may occur and even lead to the misconception that the product was falsely advertised and that processes were somehow broken. I’ve been in the networking industry for about…
