VersaONE – The Future is in Networks that Protect Themselves

By Dan Maier ?

Today, Versa is announcing the VersaONE Universal SASE Platform. VersaONE enables organizations to create self-protecting networks that radically simplify and automate their network and security infrastructure. Powered by AI, the platform delivers converged SASE, SSE, SD-WAN, and SD-LAN solutions that securely connect all users, devices, workloads, and networks through a unified platform. The result? Seamless global connectivity, reduced complexity and cost, and enhanced security. ?

It’s too hard to keep our networks secure and stable?

Today’s reality is that it’s getting harder and harder to keep our networks secure and stable. Despite years of mounting investment in security and networking infrastructure, organizations face increasing threats and growing complexity. Cyberattacks have become faster, more sophisticated, and harder to detect, leaving traditional security systems struggling to keep up. Network infrastructure has become increasingly complex and costly due to fragmented connectivity and product sprawl, leading to operational inefficiencies and escalating maintenance demands. ?

As a result, we are moving too slowly to capture opportunities like improving the customer experience, growing revenues, and taking advantage of AI. ?

The path forward – radical simplification and total automation?

Throwing more point products at the problem has reached the point of diminishing returns, and we can’t get any faster or more secure by just adding more people. To address these challenges and fulfill the vision of self-protecting networks, we need a fundamentally different approach underpinned by two main objectives:?

• Radical simplification: ?A unified platform that converges networking and security functions into a single solution across WAN, LAN, cloud and data center will dramatically reduce the complexity of today’s product sprawl and offer greater visibility and control. ?

• Total automation: With advanced automation and AI, organizations can enable self-healing networks and self-defending security that operates in real time, swiftly identifying and responding to threats and optimizing performance with minimal manual oversight.?

We call this vision the self-protecting network. ?

It’s time for the self-protecting network?

?At Versa, we believe the future belongs to networks that protect themselves. ?

We believe our customers require resilient and adaptive networks that are smart enough to identify, predict, and respond to issues autonomously, without the operational necessity of constant human intervention. Whether it’s detecting and responding to threats in real time, or predicting and routing around network bottlenecks, the future belongs to networks that protect themselves.?

The VersaONE Universal SASE Platform?

VersaONE will take you farther and faster than anyone else on the road to the self-protecting network. With the AI-powered VersaONE Universal SASE platform, you gain converged SASE, SSE, SD-WAN, and SD-LAN capabilities, securely connecting all users, devices, workloads, and networks on a unified platform. The outcome is seamless global connectivity, reduced complexity and cost, and strengthened security.?

What does VersaONE deliver??

• Universal connectivity – VersaONE provides seamless connectivity and unified security for all users, devices, offices, branches, and edge locations. It delivers secure access to all your workloads, applications, and clouds from a single platform, ensuring that data and resources are accessible and secure across any network whether it be WAN, LAN, wireless, cellular or satellite. This unified platform approach streamlines network management, reduces complexity, and enhances security, meeting the demands of modern IT environments.?

• Unified platform – VersaONE unifies security and networking into a single, centrally managed platform that reduces the challenges of product sprawl and poorly integrated SASE suites, simplifying your security and network operations. All network and security functions are controlled through one console and a single set of policies to manage, ensuring consistent policy configuration, management, and enforcement across your entire network. With all security and network telemetry funneled into one unified data lake, you get comprehensive visibility and advanced analytics. And because VersaONE is built on a single operating system with a single-pass scanning architecture, it delivers high performance and simplified software maintenance, enabling organizations to operate their infrastructure more efficiently.?

• Security built-in – VersaONE integrates security at every edge, integrating firewall, SSE and advanced security features across all your networks. It embeds inline threat detection and response, data security, and compliance tracking throughout the network, ensuring real-time defense. Built on a Zero Trust foundation, VersaONE continuously verifies the identity and security posture of every user and device, whether on-premises or remote. This built-in approach provides an adaptive security solution that protects the entire network from evolving cyber threats. ?

• Powered by AI – VersaONE leverages AI to deliver faster, more accurate network and security operations. AI-driven threat detection identifies and neutralizes threats in real-time, significantly reducing your security risk. AI-powered network analytics identifies and responds to latency and outages in real time, to continuously optimize your network performance. And integrated AIOps automates routine tasks and maintenance, reducing the operational burden on your IT teams. Overall, the AI-powered capabilities of VersaONE ensure a resilient, efficient, and secure network environment.?
