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.

Three Reasons Why Zero Trust Edge Will Supercharge the U.S. Department of Defense’s Move to a Zero Trust Architecture
By Imran Umar (Vice President, Booz Allen) and Kelly Ahuja (CEO, Versa Networks)
January 17, 2024
Cyber adversaries will stop at nothing to compromise any military systems, data, and missions. That’s why the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) is adopting zero trust—a security framework that presumes networks are compromised and counters threats by design. All DOD organizations are expected to achieve “Target Level” Zero Trust Architecture by 2027. This requires multiple security functions to identify, authenticate, and authorize users or devices based on posture to securely connect to applications. As a result, the DOD turned to Booz Allen and Versa Networks to develop a security hardened Zero Trust Edge approach that will transform the DOD’s infrastructure…
