Sangfor’s AI-driven Engine Zero malware detection engine and robust threat intelligence database also allow the company to deliver real-time analysis and more effective security protection through the SASE platform,” said Vivien Pua, senior industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan.
What is SASE and Why is it Important?
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a cloud-based architecture that combines networking and security capabilities into a single platform, delivered as a service. It provides users with efficient, secure, and reliable access to corporate resources like applications and data, cloud services, and the internet, regardless of location. A SASE solution typically includes services like SD-WAN, Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA).
The importance of SASE lies in its ability to adapt to the evolving digital landscape, where traditional perimeter-based security models are insufficient. As businesses increasingly adopt cloud services and support remote workforces, SASE provides a scalable and agile solution to manage network access, data protection, and threat prevention. It ensures consistent security policies across various environments, reduces complexity by converging networking and security services, and enhances user experience through optimized performance. In an era of increasing cyber threats and distributed networks, SASE emerges as a critical framework for enterprises seeking to safeguard their digital assets while maintaining operational flexibility.
