Cisco SASE: A Modern Approach to Network Security

SASE provides a modern alternative to the traditional security methods focused on data centers. It combines networking and security services into a single cloud-based solution, ensuring secure access from all points—whether it’s the data center, remote offices, or roaming users. By selecting a vendor that excels in both networking and security, a SASE solution can make daily management easier, enhance security, and boost network performance.

What is Cisco SASE?

IT teams need to secure a wide range of remote users, devices, software, and applications that organizations rely on every day. The challenge is how to keep everything secure without losing connectivity or straying from familiar tools.

SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) merges networking and security to ensure users can connect safely to their resources. This means clients can access their applications securely, whether they’re on-site or in the cloud.

Key Benefits of Cisco SASE:

• Cost Efficiency: Organizations can make the most of their existing tools, helping to safeguard their investments while keeping extra costs down.
• Simplified User Experience: SASE provides a seamless experience for users, whether they’re working from home or in the office.
• Enhanced Flexibility: Teams can easily implement various security measures, such as threat protection, web filtering, DNS security, and data loss prevention.
• Improved Performance: SASE streamlines the network path to applications, ensuring quick and efficient access to SaaS, IaaS, or hybrid setups.

Cisco SD-WAN:

IT organizations are facing immense pressure to meet the rising bandwidth demands from cloud traffic, mobile devices, and high-bandwidth applications. Software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) helps manage remote devices and branches effectively.
SASE provides a cost-effective alternative to managing multiple point solutions by creating an overlay that leverages familiar products like web gateways, firewalls, VPNs, and other necessary security tools for securing SD-WAN cloud deployments.
