Discussing how SASE can help your customers maintain productivity in a work from anywhere world

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

Merge wide-area networking, security, and compute through a cloud-delivered service to securely connect users, applications, and apps regardless of location.

What is SASE?

The technology sector is rapidly changing, and the SASE has never been more relevant. The accelerated and sustained transition to work from anywhere over the last couple of years has made converged cloud networking and cloud security a necessity for anyone trying to maintain productivity across their teams.

SASE converges cloud networking with security for simplicity, scalability, flexibility, and pervasive security. Combining network security functions with WAN capabilities, SASE delivers secure, optimal, and automated access to applications and workloads in the cloud. Regardless of the location of users and applications, SASE provides your customers with secure access from a single management platform.

Benefits of SASE

SASE secures the newly distributed workforce and network edge so people, apps, and devices can communicate from anywhere. The VMware SASE advantage is a unified edge and cloud service model with a single place to manage business policy, configuration, and monitoring.

Enterprise agility

• VMware’s cloud-first solution enables quick, reliable, and secure delivery of applications anywhere. And it provides organisations with the operational flexibility to adapt to change.

Reduces security risks

• SASE allows your customers to incorporate contextual awareness into access decisions, and protect activities from breach and compliance risks.

Enhances digital experiences

• SASE gives your customers the tools to allow user access and an optimised experience for mission-critical applications, even with a single link and degraded network conditions.

Improves TCO

• With self-healing and a single management plane, VMware SASE helps your customers to reduce the time spent managing network and security operations by 50%.

SASE components

SASE architecture works together to provide a cloud-first approach, application quality assurance, intrinsic security, and operational simplicity. The components of SASE include: software-defined wide area network ( SD-WAN), zero trust network access ( ZTNA), cloud web security (CWS), and artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps).

SD-WAN

Decouples networking services from the underlying networks, allowing application traffic to be carried independently of the underlying physical or transport components.

AIOPs

Reduces network troubleshooting and optimisation, and improves the end-user experience through network analytics, problem isolation, and actionable remediation enabled by AI/ML.

Zero Trust network access

SASE shifts from network-centric security to an approach based on identity, location, and context that “trusts no one,” granting authorised resources on-demand, and keeping your customers’ networks secure.

Cloud web security

SASE provides a set of cloud-based security services that includes a secure web gateway (SWG), cloud access security broker (CASB), data loss prevention (DLP), and remote browser isolation (RBI).

Bringing together cloud networking and cloud security

VMware’s SASE Platform™ provides secure, reliable, and optimised access to traditional and new applications for mobile clients, branches, and campuses with a single, holistic solution.
