Data Residency Is Not Sovereignty: What to Ask Before You Sign
Data residency and data sovereignty are not the same thing — and regulators are starting to notice. This post explains the four dimensions of genuine sovereign SASE and gives EU procurement teams a practical checklist to evaluate vendors before signing.
Versa SASE Fabric
The Versa SASE Fabric, a part of the Versa Secure Access Fabric, is an interconnected, policy-aware, distributed system where networking, security, identity, analytics, and orchestration operate as a single unified platform. Learn why it’s based on an optimal architecture and what sets it apart.
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.
Compliance: Mapping the Coast Guard’s MTSA Cyber Rule to VersaONE
Here is how Versa Unified SASE platform translates 33 CFR Part 101, Subpart F into controls for compliance.
The Complexity Tax: What Enterprise Fragmentation Is Actually Costing You
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.
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.
The WAN for AI-era applications is becoming a single system
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.
Why Data Sovereignty Fails Without Sovereign SASE
Across boardrooms, from Singapore to Sao Paulo, business leaders are coming to the same conclusion: Sovereign cloud, on its own, doesn’t always deliver the level of security they thought they were buying.

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…
