As more remote workers log on from home or public WiFi hotspots using a mixture of personal and company devices, security risks have increased dramatically.
Due to these challenges, enterprise IT struggles to maintain a reliable, high-performance wide-area network (WAN) that enables secure and efficient access to cloud-based applications. Traditional networks, such as multi-protocol label switching (MPLS), were not designed to support the increased demand for fast, secure bandwidth required by cloud computing.
Now, enterprise IT requires a new approach. Combining software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) with secure service edge (SSE) leads to secure access service edge (SASE), a cloud-native security framework that protects enterprise data and assets anytime, anywhere.
