The COVID-19 pandemic made remote work the modus operandi for white-collar employees around the world. In response, corporate networking and security teams scrambled to support newly remote staff. They needed to provide high-performance yet secure connections to data and applications, both on company premises and in the cloud. Now, as more and more businesses embrace hybrid work models, where employees can come back into the office for one or more days per week, networking and security teams are again scrambling—this time, to build out wide-area networks (WANs) and security capabilities that support hybrid work.
Secure access service edge (SASE) architecture represents a way to bring both security service edge (SSE) and WAN edge, or SD-WAN, capabilities together in a unified platform. This eBook will show you how your organization can save by implementing these unified, consolidated capabilities in your hybrid work environment.
