Versa Networks, the recognized Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) leader, today announced that its industry-leading Versa SASE has won the Zero Trust Security Excellence Award, presented by TMC, a global, integrated media company. Versa SASE was the only SASE solution to be named a winner in the awards competition, which recognizes the leaders and pioneers in the industry offering the most innovation, effective solutions.

“We are honored to be the only SASE solution to win the Zero Trust Security Excellence Award, and to be recognized as offering the most complete SASE integration offering Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), a critical requirement for customers,” said Michael Wood, Chief Marketing Officer for Versa Networks. “Versa SASE delivers unique integration of networking and security SASE services – including ZTNA – via the cloud or, if customers prefer, delivered on-premises or as a blended combination of both. Versa SASE offers the most comprehensive range of security and ZTNA services, and organizations around the world look to Versa as a strategic partner to address their complex secure access, networking and digital transformation needs. Versa is the modern secure network.”

ZTNA is a key functionality of Versa SASE, which delivers tightly integrated services via the cloud, on-premises, or as a blended combination of both via Versa Operating System (VOS™) with a Single-Pass Parallel Processing architecture and managed through a single pane of glass. Versa began delivering SASE services such as VPN, Secure SD-WAN, Edge Compute Protection, Next-Generation Firewall, Next-Generation Firewall as a Service, Secure Web Gateway (SWG), and ZTNA more than five years ago. Versa uniquely provides contextual security based on user, role, device, application, location, security posture of the device, and content.

“It gives me great pleasure to honor the recipients of the TMCnet Zero Trust Security Excellence Award,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “The award recognizes solutions providers championing the ‘trust nothing, verify everything’ mantra of a Zero Trust approach to security at a time when businesses are facing more complex and frequent threats than ever. The TMCnet Team is thoroughly impressed and congratulates the recipients.”

As the leader in SASE, the fastest growing security and networking category, and executing on SASE services for years, Versa is the only solution proven to deliver the industry’s leading and differentiated architecture for high performance and security.
