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:
Versa offers a unique converged SASE and SD-WAN solution in an integrated single-stack, hardware-agnostic software-only offering that scales to the needs of any network.
Let Versa’s core capabilities help you implement a SASE and Secure SD-WAN.
Versa security capabilities bring together the benefits of SASE and SD-WAN with simplified deployment and operation of multiple security services. Ongoing operations are orchestrated through the Versa Director management platform which provides a single console and set of policies across all Versa security functions. More details are given in the NSS Labs recommendations and report on Versa Secure SD-WAN.
