Whether your network is a new build or a fixer-upper, you want it to deliver for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s evolution.

Take a closer look at SASE (secure access service edge), the networking model that centralizes core functions in the cloud to give you everything you want.

Will you be in the 60% of organizations who are projected to have explicit plans and schedules for adopting SASE by 2025, as Gartner predicts?1

You want water-tight security

Cyber threats like ransomware and remote-access trojans are always evolving, trying to slip through the gaps.

61% of global companies experienced a jump of 25% or more in cyber threats or alerts since the start of COVID-19.2

SASE combines networking with security to verify the identity of users, monitor the health of devices, and stop threats sooner.

You want a hospitable user experience

Even with workloads moving to the cloud and users moving out of the office, everyone still wants fast, reliable, convenient access to their apps and data.

An average of 4.7 times more employees are working from home now compared to before the pandemic.

Many IT teams struggle with scaling to cope with the demand.3

SASE handles the increase in network traffic and connects users quickly and seamlessly to their tools and resources.

You want insulation from risk

Users frustrated with performance issues turn to unauthorized shadow IT that threatens to erode your network from the inside.

Nearly two-thirds of organizations report the use of a significant or moderate amount of non-IT-sanctioned cloud applications.4

SASE exposes shadow IT and lets you block inappropriate apps, while keeping users happy with high performance from sanctioned tech.

You want compliance to code

Your security and data handling have to follow the regulations for your industry.

64% of enterprises believe network security is more difficult now than two years ago.5

SASE lets you enforce consistent and up-to-date security policies across the network, even for remote and branch users.

You want low maintenance

It’s getting harder to find skilled staff, and you don’t want them to spend their time learning dozens of point solutions and logging in to multiple dashboards.

WAN management can take up to 65 hours of staff time per 100 users per year.6

SASE is a cloud-native solution that consolidates security and networking in a single console to help simplify operations.

You want affordability

The dedicated MPLS circuits of a traditional WAN are getting costly to provision and maintain.

21% of organizations are moving additional workloads to the public cloud due to pandemic-related CapEx issues.7

With SASE, you can minimize OpEx and CapEx, and redirect resources where they’re needed.
