What is SASE?

Secure access service edge (SASE) is a cloud network architecture in which security services are delivered over the internet directly to?SD-WAN?connections through a?private backbone managed by the SASE provider.

The goal of SASE, which is pronounced “sassy," is to consolidate multiple networking and security functions into one native-cloud?software stack?that's billed as a single, on-demand cloud service.

SASE services can be thought of as next-gen VPN. They are intended to make it easier for enterprises to provide security for devices at the?edge of the network?by:

  • Reducing the cost of deploying and managing multiple siloed services.
  • Providing centralized management, including?orchestration, for complex hybrid-cloud deployments.
  • Allowing?Zero Trust policies?to restrict access based on user, device, location, IP address or application identity.
  • Ensuring packet inspection is enforced across all of the SASE provider’s point of presences (PoPs).

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can help improve the effectiveness and efficiency of SASE services by optimizing threat detection, behavior analysis, network optimization and policy enforcement. For example, if an employee is traveling and needs to access a corporate application from an unfamiliar location, machine learning algorithms will analyze the user's behavior patterns and device type in real-time and adjust policy enforcement accordingly.

Vendors that offer SASE services include:

Depending upon the provider, a SASE stack may include the following:

  • Support for Zero-trust Network Access (ZTNA)
  • Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) services
  • Secure Web Gateway (SWG) services
  • Deep packet inspection?services
  • Virtual private network (VPN) services
  • Firewall as a service (FWaaS)
  • Data loss prevention (DLP) services
