VersaAI is a suite of AI technologies, built into the VersaONE platform, that enhance the speed and accuracy of network and security operations. By continuously collecting and analyzing data from across the entire infrastructure into the unified data lake, VersaAI algorithms identify patterns, predicts threats, and optimizes network traffic specific to Versa customers. This enables swift response to issues, reduces downtime, and mitigates risks. For AI Networking, Versa offers User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), Co-Pilot for network operations, prioritization and prediction, and network-level anomaly detection. For AI Security, Versa solutions for malware protection, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), UEBA, threat protection, data protection, Co-Pilot for security operations (SecOps), and prioritization and prediction.

Versa’s scalable multi-plane architecture is designed to enhance the flexibility and efficiency of network operations. This architecture divides the network into distinct planes, each responsible for specific functions such as control, data, management, analytics and AI. By isolating these functions, the architecture allows for independent scaling of each plane, ensuring optimal performance and resource utilization. This modular approach not only improves network resilience and simplifies management but also facilitates seamless integration with third-party solutions and advanced analytics.

Built on a Zero Trust foundation, VersaONE ensures that no entity—whether inside or outside the network—is inherently trusted. This approach requires continuous verification of users, devices, and applications, granting access only based on strict identity and context-based policies. By leveraging advanced encryption, multi-factor authentication, microsegmentation and granular access controls, Versa enforces least-privilege access across every edge. And unlike competing Zero Trust approaches, VersaONE applies all security inspection and enforcement to Zero Trust traffic, mitigating risks from both internal and external threats, and aligning with Versa’s vision of delivering secure, scalable, and flexible networking solutions.

An agent-based approach utilizes the Unified SASE Client, which integrates SASE connectivity and security. This client combines resilient and dynamic best path selection with zero trust security policies and continuous device posture assessment, ensuring secure and optimal performance. For environments where agent deployment is not feasible, VersaONE provides agentless solutions that still maintain robust security and connectivity.

A traffic engineered middle mile backbone is a core component that ensures optimal data flow and network performance. The platform’s global deployment of Points of Presence (PoPs) provides distributed on-ramps and enhances performance using dynamic, end-to-end best-path selection and quality of experience optimization.

A multi-tenant architecture delivers complete isolation and security for multiple tenants, making it ideal for enterprises, and service providers. By separating the management, control, and data planes, the platform ensures that each tenant’s data and operations remain fully segregated, preventing cross-tenant interference or security breaches.

A standards-based architecture ensures interoperability, flexibility, and future-proofing that avoids vendor lock-in for your infrastructure. By using open standards and protocols, the platform integrates with a wide range of existing systems and technologies, reducing the complexity and cost of deployment.

Powerful analytics provide deep insights into network performance, security, and user behavior, leveraging advanced AI and machine learning techniques. By continuously collecting and analyzing data from across the entire infrastructure, the analytics engine can identify patterns, detect anomalies, and predict potential issues before they impact operations. Comprehensive reporting tools enable detailed visibility into network traffic, security threats, and compliance status, supporting informed decision-making and strategic planning.

Native and embedded automation streamlines network and security operations, reducing manual intervention and enhancing operational efficiency. By automating tasks such as configuration management, policy enforcement, and threat detection, the platform ensures expedited deployment, consistent security and rapid response to network events.

An open hardware strategy is designed to provide flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and future-proof deployments. By allowing customers to deploy the platform on certified hardware from approved vendors, organizations are not locked into a specific hardware ecosystem.

A resilient architecture delivers an “always-available” and high performance service for any company. This architecture includes redundant components and intelligent failover controls, ensuring continuous service even if individual elements fail. By distributing the load across multiple nodes, the platform eliminates single points of failure and maintains optimal performance, while real-time monitoring and automated recovery processes ensure uninterrupted access and reliable network performance.

A a robust communication framework within the platform designed to ensure secure and efficient data exchange between network and security components. This service facilitates reliable transmission of information, supports real-time updates, and enables seamless integration with third-party capabilities such as threat intelligence, networking telemetry, and other security products. By providing a versatile messaging infrastructure, Versa Messaging Service ensures cohesive operation of the VersaONE Universal SASE Platform.

VersaONE’s unified data lake aggregates data from across WAN, LAN, cloud, data center, and remote locations. This comprehensive data provides a holistic view of network performance, security, and user behavior. By integrating diverse data streams into a single, unified data lake, it unlocks advanced analytics and AI-driven insights, facilitating informed decision-making and proactive network management. This centralized approach enhances visibility, improves troubleshooting capabilities, and optimizes network resources and policies.

A unified policy engine ensures uniformity in security, access control, and application usage across WAN, LAN, cloud, data center, and remote environments. It reduces the risk of misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, enhancing overall security and compliance. It simplifies the complexity of managing diverse network environments, particularly for organizations with multiple branches or global operations.

A single, unified console offers a centralized and intuitive experience for managing and monitoring the entire network infrastructure and its natively embedded security. This consolidates insights for network performance, security, and configuration across WAN, LAN, cloud, data center, and remote environments. By integrating management tools into a unified console, administrators can easily monitor traffic flows, manage policies, and troubleshoot issues from one location, significantly simplifying network operations.

A unified operating system (OS) forms the backbone of its integrated network and security capabilities. By consolidating all functions onto a single OS and a single software stack the platform is fully interoperable across WAN, LAN, cloud, data center, and remote environments – unlocking simple management and policy enforcement, reducing complexity and potential for errors. It also supports advanced features like AI-powered analytics and automation, enhancing the platform’s ability to dynamically respond to network conditions and security threats.
