Partner with Cisco on your SASE Journey

The Need for SASE in Today’s Cloud-Centric World

Rapid digital transformation and the shift to hybrid workforce have been driving the need for anywhere, anytime access to resources – especially over the last two years. As businesses move from on-prem to hybrid infrastructure, many are forced to re-think their organization architecture and cybersecurity defenses.

Are you securing and protecting your employees working anywhere?
Are connections to applications and data seamless and secure with employees working anywhere?
Do you have the visibility and ability to detect, analyze and disable access to websites, applications and data not sanctioned by the company?

Challenges with Remote Workforce and Cloud Adoption

This shift towards a more distributed workforce also brings about new business and security challenges, including:

Lack of IT support to manage and secure all network devices

Employees using company non-sanctioned applications or cloud data storage for company data
Employees accessing unknown harmful or malicious sites

Lack of visibility, intelligence, and control over employee’s usage of applications and data over the Cloud

Weak password practices and password exposure

Why SASE?

Combining networking and security functions in the cloud, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) delivers secure access to applications, anywhere users work. It consolidates core functions (such as SD-WAN, firewalls, SWG, CASB and zero trust network access) which were traditionally delivered in siloed point solutions into a single, integrated cloud service.
