WEBINARS

   

 

Rethinking Remote Access: Replacing VPNs with Zero Trust Network Access

Live Webinar (March 31, 2026)

In this session for security architects, engineers, and IT leaders, we’ll examine how Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) delivers secure, application-centric access without the limitations of traditional VPNs—and why it is the natural first step toward a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture.

   

How Do You Simplify Complex Infrastructure at Scale with Agentic AI?

On-demand Webinar (March 12, 2026)

Join Rajesh Kari, Director of Product & Solutions (SASE) and Sridhar Iyer, Senior Director, AI/ML, as they showcase how Versa’s innovative Agentic AI — built on a Zero Trust MCP foundation — simplifies infrastructure operations without compromising security.

   

Intelligent Edge: The Future of Branch and Campus

On-demand Webinar (March 4, 2026)

Join Versa CEO Kelly Ahuja, Omdia networking analyst Jim Frey, and Stephen Worn, CTO of Datacenter Dynamics, as they review the challenges faced by legacy router-centric architectures and fragmented WAN and LAN solutions in the AI era, and explore how autonomous, context-aware edge infrastructure is reshaping how enterprises need to design, secure, and operate their branch networks.

   

 

   

INSIGHTS & RESOURCES

   

 

Versa Remote Browser Isolation

Data sheet

This new data sheet details how Versa RBI is natively integrated with Versa Unified SASE and protects enterprises from zero-day threats, data loss, and unmanaged device risk.

Introducing the Versa Secure Enterprise Browser Early Access Program

Blog

Versa Secure Enterprise Browser brings Zero Trust enforcement directly into the browser session. Join the Early Access Program to secure SaaS, GenAI, and BYOD access within the VersaONE Universal SASE platform.

Versa Zero Trust: From Network Trust to Application Trust

Blog

Zero Trust has become a foundational concept in enterprise security, but many implementations focus on only one part of the problem: application access. Zero Trust must be enforced at multiple layers of the network.

Versa Secure SD-WAN Integration with Zscaler Internet Access

Blog

We’ve introduced an automated integration between Versa Secure SD-WAN and Zscaler that makes dual-vendor SASE faster, secure and resilient. This integration helps you secure local internet breakout, improve user experience and simplify operations.

Building Secure, AI-Optimized Data Centers: A Blueprint for CIOs and Network Architects

Blog

As organizations deploy GPU-packed clusters and scale out AI inference, traditional architectures struggle to deliver the performance, scalability, and uncompromising security that modern AI demands.

Breaking Down Versa Inbound SSE: Securing Internet Traffic Accessing Your Applications

Blog

Security Service Edge (SSE) has become the standard architecture for protecting outbound internet traffic and providing secure access to applications. But most SSE architectures were designed primarily for outbound traffic, leaving another important challenge largely unchanged: protecting internet traffic accessing your applications.

Part 5 – Securing Tool Access: MCP Server and MCP Gateway

Blog

Installment 5 of this series from Versa founder and CDO Kumar Mehta explains that most AI incidents don’t start with "bad answers." They start with “the AI took an action it shouldn’t have.” That is why tool access matters as much as model access.

Part 4 – Securing Model Access: Model Gateway and LLM Proxy

Blog

Installments 1, 2, & 3 of this series focused on visibility, policy, and inspection. Now we are moving into infrastructure. Once AI is in production, model calls become critical traffic. If those calls bypass governance, you lose policy enforcement, visibility, cost control, and consistent inspection. A Model Gateway solves that by acting as the front door for model access.

Part 3 – Prompt Inspection: How You Stop Data Leaks and Prompt Injection

Blog

Prompt inspection is not just “keyword filtering.” It is security inspection for AI interactions. The goal is to stop AI from becoming a silent data leak path or a pathway to unsafe actions.

Intelligent Edge: The Future of Branch and Campus in the AI Era

Blog

Distributed intelligent computing has arrived. Processing power, data, and intelligence are no longer confined to centralized cloud or data centers. Instead, they are distributed across data centers, cloud, edge locations, campuses, branches, and even devices.
