The SASE framework can help organizations simplify their IT infrastructure, advance their threat prevention, better protect their data, implement flexible solutions, easily connect users and devices wherever they are located, and reduce total costs.
SASE also provides a Zero Trust approach to the cloud, which validates users and device access to applications anywhere in the world. SASE provides complete application session protection, whether a user is inside or outside the corporate network.
Gartner expects that by 2023, 20% of enterprises will have adopted SWG, CASB, ZTNA and branch FWaaS from the same vendor, up from less than 5% in 2019. And by 2024, at least 40% of enterprises will have explicit strategies to adopt SASE, up from less than 1% at year-end 2018. Additionally, worldwide COVID-19 social distancing directives resulted in momentous changes in the work-from-home, video communications, and distance-learning landscapes. As a result, internet, service provider, and enterprise traffic patterns have been permanently altered. Adopting a SASE model that provides the agility and security to address these changes is key for business continuity in the era of increasing cloud and mobile adoption.
Traditional network security requires multiple services to implement measures that the SASE model can accomplish in one consolidated technology. This platform integrates VPN technology, SWG settings, threat recognition, secure access and traffic analytics into one unified fabric.
The rigid network infrastructures of the past are not sufficient in today’s IT landscape where data is stored in the cloud and on various devices. Numerous trends emerged when organizations first began their digital transformation. As a result, the culmination of these trends led to the creation of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) technology. Digital transformation trends that led to SASE include:
SASE delivers attributes to address to digital transformation:
Compared to a traditional WAN architecture, Versa allows customers to significantly lower technology costs by combining networking and security into a single-pass architecture.
Simplify your network architecture by streamlining network and security protocols your IT team needs to oversee in one single-pass architecture. Increase visibility for all network users and apply contextual security protocols based on their different interaction levels with the network.
Versa SASE provides comprehensive security for remote and branch network users and includes features such as ZTNA, SWG, CASB, Firewall-as-a-Service, DLP, and RBI. These features enable robust network access with contextual control in terms of access to the cloud and SaaS apps based on job function.
Versa SASE supports two-factor authentication solutions and secures access to employees who are working from home, allowing users to connect to company resources while protecting company assets with enhanced encryption.
Versa SASE has sophisticated data loss prevention techniques, such as RBI, that will only provide a visual rendering of company data to remote users. This significantly lowers the risk of an infected endpoint from extracting sensitive data.
Disconnected network and security tools provide a fragmented view of network behavior. Versa SASE provides a comprehensive view of all network user behavior and the ability to enforce security protocols all in one software-defined-platform.
Versa SASE integrates with any modern network infrastructure, such as on-premise, cloud or a hybrid model. This flexibility provides unprecedented agility for network and security architects to make changes in real time in response to network demands.
As organizations prepare to return to the office, NGFWaaS by Versa SASE can help IT and security teams do more with less.

SASE is an entire package of technologies that embeds security into the global fabric of the network. Major components of SASE are Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), NGFW and Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and Secure Web Gateways (SWG).
The core of SASE architecture is comprised of the users, devices, applications, and resources, and the identity, risks, roles, profiles, privileges and policies that govern access between them. SASE architecture is the convergence and inversion of both network and security architectures.
SASE encompasses a combination of networking and security technologies. Some experts expect enterprise to adopt a hybrid approach to SASE: using existing security and networking systems, while gradually implementing SASE networking technology to scale large numbers of unmanaged devices, WFA users, and cloud-hosted resources.
As with the adoption of any new network approach, service edge technologies can come with bumps on the road. Some points to consider when evaluating SASE challenges are the scalability of the SASE architecture proposed, distribution of cloud gateways, SASE vendor skillset, and integration and interoperability of the SASE solution. Choosing the right SASE strategy can ease the path of a successful implementation.
The SASE solution is necessary for today’s modern client-to-cloud era, enabling effective cloud adoption and digital transformation, consistent cloud performance for WFA and mobile users, ubiquitous policy enforcement across your network, securing unmanaged devices, sophisticated and up to date threat intelligence, and simplifying IT management.
Organizations large and small benefit from SASE because it is cloud-native, simple, and secure. SASE enabled organizations can enable secure and reliable Work-from-Anywhere (WFA) environments and secure access while maintaining their rate of cloud adoption.
SASE provides many benefits by consolidating networking and security functions traditionally delivered as point products. SASE benefits include reducing costs and complexity, achieving a least-privileged model, ensuring consistent policy enforcement, reducing the overall attack surface, and delivering a seamless user experience.
SASE can help your organization in many ways from solving problems with traditional WAN architectures, presenting new digital transformation opportunities for your business, to increasing IT staff effectiveness. Other benefits include: reducing costs and IT complexity, securing remote and mobile users, ensuring consistent policy throughout your network, and optimizing network performance and user experience.
Versa SASE uncovers ultimate network visibility. Its first-in-class, software-defined platform enables network and security teams to digest all network user behavior, regardless of location, and enforce ubiquitous security protocols. Here are some key features to the platform:
A software-defined architecture for the Wide Area Network (WAN) increases network performance and agility.
Secure and private connectivity to corporate applications while implementing a least privileged model to access.
Gateway protection against internet threats preventing unsecured traffic from compromising internal networks and users.
Policy enforcement that secures data flowing between users and cloud applications to comply with corporate and regulatory requirements.
A cloud service that delivers firewall and other network security capabilities to inspect and control all network traffic.
A risk mitigation solution that moves the execution of users' browsing activity to a remote server hosted in the cloud or on-premises.
