Description
Summary:Three years ago, Gartner coined the term Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) to describe an architecture that combines software-defined wide-area networks (SD-WANs) with a portfolio of cloud-based security tools —including secure web gateway (SWG) cloud access security brokers (CASB), and zero-trust network access (ZTNA). SSE brings together the elements needed to secure access to websites, cloud services, and internal applications in a way that yields immediate benefits in the form of reduced risk, cost and complexity while allowing organizations to fold in the SD-WAN components at their own pace. Policy enforcement and incident management from a single pane of glass, Centralized visibility and control over data, apps, and users, The ability to apply security controls to data wherever it goes – such as websites, cloud services, unmanaged endpoints, and private applications – and Reduced operational complexity of managing multiple disparate solutions SSE presents an opportunity for IT organizations to simplify their security fabric by replacing multiple, special-purpose hardware devices with comparable functionality delivered as cloud services.
