The AI Memory Tax Makes uCPE Design Worth a Look
This blog examines the AI-driven memory shortage and its impact on the hardware supply chain, and offers a viewpoint on using this period as an opportunity to evaluate leveraging uCPE to deliver targeted workloads within branch infrastructure as a viable alternative to procuring, placing, and managing another box.
Federal Zero Trust Maturity: Aligning Mission, Security, and Cost
Federal zero trust maturity now depends on more than security controls. Agencies must also cut the cost of fragmented network and security stacks and keep citizen services running. This post explains how device consolidation, a software-defined WAN, and careful sequencing let agencies meet all three goals together.
Beyond Integration: Why a Truly Unified Branch Needs Intelligent Edge, Pervasive Security, and AI-Native Operations
Piecemeal SASE creates security debt. See how Versa unifies pervasive security, intelligent edge, and AI-native operations on one platform.
The Network Is the Platform: Why Convergence at the WAN, LAN, and Security Defines the Next Era of Infrastructure
The network is no longer beneath the platform — it IS the platform. Learn why converging SD-WAN, SD-LAN, and SSE on one stack matters.
Versa and Infoblox: Closing the Gap Between SD-WAN and DDI
SD-WAN and DDI have long operated as disconnected silos — leaving IT teams to manually configure branches, manage failover by hand, and diagnose IP conflicts without unified visibility. The Versa and Infoblox integration changes that with automated, template-driven workflows and built-in resilience.
Designing for Failure: Why DDIL Must Be the Starting Point
DDIL is the expected condition in modern tactical operations. See how multi-transport SD-WAN keeps warfighters connected when links fail.
5G as Primary WAN: Making 5G Enterprise-Ready with Versa Secure SD-WAN
5G as Primary WAN: Making 5G Enterprise-Ready with Versa Secure SD-WAN For years, 5G was treated as a backup connection, the link you activated when the main circuit went down, then ignored until the next outage. That made sense when cellular networks were inconsistent and performance was unpredictable. But that’s no longer today’s reality. 5G has matured into a viable primary WAN technology. The speeds are there. The coverage is there. What’s been missing is the management foundation to run 5G like a primary enterprise WAN connection: unified policy enforcement, multi-carrier flexibility, intelligent traffic steering, and end-to-end visibility. That changes…
Resiliency Is the New SLA: Why AI Demands an Always-On Intelligent Edge
For decades, we’ve measured the network in terms of uptime percentages and bandwidth tiers. In the AI era, those metrics are no longer enough. Resiliency, which is the ability to deliver uninterrupted, any-directional, application-aware connectivity in the face of unpredictable AI workloads, is the new SLA.
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.

Achieve Zero Blind Spots with Versa’s Complete Branch Security that Protects Guest Wi-Fi and Beyond
By Rajesh Kari
Director, Product Marketing
December 4, 2025
Branches are surging back in prominence as hubs for users, applications, and a rapidly expanding IoT ecosystem. In this new branch paradigm, Guest Wi-Fi is no longer a convenience. It’s a non-negotiable requirement across retail, healthcare, hospitality, financial services, and much more. Unfortunately, this shift introduces a new mix of unpredictable user behavior, diverse applications, and thousands of devices to the branch infrastructure. This dramatically increases bandwidth demands and expands the attack surface where guest devices can bring malicious files, launch DNS-based threats, enable data exfiltration, or open compliance and privacy gaps. Industry research shows 70% of performance degradation and…

September 29, 2025
Norway reported a cyber intrusion at a dam in Bremanger that remotely opened a valve and released water at approximately 132 gallons per second for about four hours—roughly two million gallons in total—before operators intervened. No injuries or material damage were reported, but the incident highlighted how digital control systems in critical infrastructure can be manipulated and was noted as the first confirmed breach of Norway’s water infrastructure since 2022.

Why Enterprises Are Finally Ripping and Replacing Their Legacy SD-WAN—and Embracing Versa
By Rajesh Kari
Director, Product Marketing
September 10, 2025
For a long time, most enterprises treated deployment of SD-WAN as a replacement to their legacy routers in order to enable traffic engineering on multiple WAN links. They were still forced to manage point products like WAN optimizers, firewalls and legacy switches in addition to SD-WAN, hoping to deliver better connectivity and performance, without the pain of replacing them with a unified solution. Industry reports show that this was the norm across organizations – a phased transition instead of bold replacement.
