Gartner Magic Quadrant report analyzes the various vendors in the WAN edge market and Versa is positioned as a Leader.
Learn about the Versa Secure SD-WAN solution in a high-level, one minute overview.
SASE is the simplest, most scalable way to continuously secure and connect the millions points of access in and out of the corporate resources regardless of location.
Versa Secure SD-WAN is a single software platform that offers multi-layered security and enables multi-cloud connectivity for Enterprises.
Gartner’s “The Future of Network Security Is in the Cloud” research reports that in the digital economy security focus shifts from the data center to the identity of the user/device in conjunction with the data context of the communication session. Legacy security overlay solutions fail to provide the agility, flexibility, connectivity and security required in the network fabric that weaves together the digital economy: cloud-native, mobile, everything-connected.
Gartner expects that by 2023, 20% of enterprises will have adopted SWG, CASB, ZTNA and branch FWaaS capabilities 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.
Hub-and-spoke network designs worked well when the data center was the core of your business and the outlying branch offices accessed the core. Historically, sites were stationary and branch offices a manageable and known number. Your data center hosted applications. Only a small fraction of employees worked from off-premises locations. Security-sensitive work remained on-premises.
Corporate network security hinged on the network perimeter: sophisticated firewalls in the data center; bouncing all Internet traffic via data center firewalls, incurring latency; intrusion-protection appliances in branch sites; VPN tunnels for limited off-premise access.
The rigid networks of yesterday do not work in the digital economy. Numerous trends have commingled in a digital transformation that upturned every tenet of legacy network designs and traffic patterns.
In an assessment of industry trends, Zeus Kerravala, principal analyst at ZK Research, finds that 51% of CxOs do not know what their industry will look like in 2023; 48% fear their company could be obsolete within 5 years; 55% of the Fortune-1000 in the year 2000 are now gone; and expects a 50% turnover in the S&P in the next five years.
Worldwide COVID-19 social distancing directives resulted in momentous changes in the work-from-home, video communications and distance learning landscapes. Internet, service provider and enterprise traffic patterns are permanently altered.
The agility to address these changes is key for survival in the digital economy. A Gartner blog by Andrew Lerner defines SASE as the convergence of wide area networking (WAN) and network security services like CASB, FWaaS and Zero Trust (ZTNA) into a single, cloud-native service model.
SASE delivers attributes to address to digital transformation:
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). More...
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. More...
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 technology to scale large numbers of unmanaged devices, WFA users, and cloud-hosted resources. More...
As with the adoption of any new technologies, SASE can come with bumps on the road. Some points to consider when evaluating SASE 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. More...
SASE 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. More...
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. More...
SASE provides many benefits by consolidating networking and security functions traditionally delivered as point products. 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. More...
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. More...
