SASE – Secure Access Service Edge by Cato Networks
SASE converges SD-WAN and Security Service Edge (SSE) functions, including FWaaS, CASB, DLP, SWG, and ZTNA, into a unified, cloud-native service. With SASE, enterprises can eliminate the effort and costs required to maintain complex and fragmented infrastructure made of point solutions, reduce the risk for breach and data loss with optimal security posture, enable secure work from anywhere, and improve access to global applications on premises and in the cloud.
Benefits of SASE
SASE provides a single cloud-based network that connects and secures any physical, cloud, or mobile enterprise resource, in any location. These are some of the key benefits of the SASE platform:
- Improving agility
With SASE, it is easy to deploy new resources. All you need is to deploy an edge client and connect it to the SASE platform. There is no need to maintain on-premise infrastructure.
- Improving security via unified policies
SASE provides a full security stack, protecting all resources with a unified security policy. It provides full visibility into WAN and Internet traffic with no blind spots.
- Simplifying the network stack
SASE provides a simpler network and security stack by consolidating multiple point solutions. It reduces upfront costs and eliminates the need for in-house management.
Key components of SASE
- Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN)
SASE leverages SD-WAN capabilities to provide optimized network routing, global connectivity, WAN and Internet security, cloud acceleration, and remote access.
- Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS)
SASE includes FWaaS to provide the scalability and elasticity needed for the digital business and to extend a full network security stack wherever needed.
- Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
SASE embraces a zero-trust policy, where application access dynamically adjusts based on user identity, location, device type, and more.
- Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
CASB helps enterprises adapt to the new threats that come with cloud computing. When delivered as part of a SASE service, the complexity of integrating CASB with other point security solutions is eliminated.
- Secure Web Gateway (SWG)
SASE offers SWG protection to all users, at all locations, and eliminates the need to maintain policies across multiple point solutions.
- Unified Management
SASE solves the complexity of managing multiple disparate products. A true SASE allows users to monitor and manage all network and security solutions from a single pane of glass.
