Versa Networks, the recognized leader of single-vendor Unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), today announced a set of enhancements to VersaAI™ that includes new embedded generative AI capabilities to identify malicious behaviors in real time, secure generative AI tools, and enhance network and security operational excellence. These capabilities are powered by a shared set of fine-tuned AI/ML engines natively integrated into the Versa Unified SASE platform and used across its product portfolio.
In today’s business environment, networks and security are indispensable and intrinsically linked, but the infrastructure to deliver these services has grown in complexity and risk due to the rise of public cloud, SaaS applications, and the need to integrate point products. Security and networking teams are faced with a constant barrage of threats and outages. These events are tremendously expensive – the cost per breach is over $4M, the cost per network outage is up to $300K per hour, and the cost to the brand is immeasurable. CISOs, CIOs and their understaffed teams struggle with these challenges while they are overwhelmed by massive volumes of telemetry data from point products, limited budgets, and legacy processes that can’t scale – necessitating AI’s intervention to level the playing field.
Against this backdrop, VersaAI™ has been delivering a set of advanced capabilities to simplify management and monitoring of complex networks while securing the infrastructure. With VersaAI™, customers access a comprehensive set of threat protection, data protection, and operational capabilities across the Versa product portfolio. The integration of these advanced AI technologies into the Versa Unified SASE platform has revolutionized security and networking, and delivers unparalleled protection and operational innovation for Versa’s customers.
The Versa Unified SASE Platform integrates a panoramic data set from across the entire infrastructure – from the WAN Edge, Cloud, Campus, remote locations, users and devices – into a unified data lake. VersaAI™ taps into this data lake to extract AI/ML insights that are seamlessly applied across the Versa product suite.
“Our advantage lies in our unparalleled ability to train and correlate data across extensive unified security and networking telemetry,” said Kumar Mehta, Founder and Chief Development Officer of Versa Networks. “With our vast SASE deployment base, the telemetry data is leveraged to fine tune Large Language Models (LLMs) to bolster security posture in real time with a high degree of accuracy and automation, and optimize network operations and performance.”
VersaAI™ introduces several exciting new capabilities supporting advanced security and networking use cases:
Built on the current UEBA and AIOps modules that identify threats and anomalous behaviors while delivering actionable insights for accelerated remediation, the new capabilities include:
