As you shift more of your business data, workloads, applications, and operations to the cloud, you need a highly flexible security framework to better protect your hybrid network infrastructure while improving performance. Secure Access Service Edge AKA SASE and pronounced “Sassy” helps in simplifying your network architecture by converging both networking and security services into a single-service cloud-native, global network that shifts the security focus from traffic flow-centric to identity-centric. It provides more visibility into and greater control over your network security configurations by eliminating the need for legacy hardware firewalls, VPNs, and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection appliances.
