SASE According to Gartner

Ton Blok explains

Gartner is a leading research and advisory firm that helps companies make well-informed IT decisions. Their Magic Quadrants (MQs) are renowned for providing in-depth assessments of the benefits, drawbacks, and overall performance ratings of various technology solutions - making them an invaluable resource when it comes to procurement processes.

However, Gartner does not only perform evaluations of existing technology – it also looks to the future and provides organizations with guidance on how to build and secure the networks of the future. A few short years ago, when most of the IT world was only warming up to the idea of SD-WAN, Gartner was pioneering the concept of SASE (Secure Access Service Edge).

The Components of SASE Architecture

SASE, as identified by Gartner, is a cutting-edge cloud service that converges data security throughout multiple edges including beyond basic branch networks. Its SASE Architecture can be broken down into the essential components of:

  • Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN): By utilizing the power of SD-WAN, SASE enables optimized network routing between its numerous PoPs so that data traffic can be quickly and securely sent from one point to another.
  • Firewall as a Service (FWaaS): A firewall is integral to any defense system - and SASE's FWaaS allows you to build a powerful barrier against external threats with ease. Make sure your network stack has the security it needs by equipping yourself with this reliable service.
  • Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA): Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) takes the security of remote access to the next level. Relying on a Software Defined Perimeter (SDP), it replaces traditional solutions with case-by-case user evaluations, ensuring that only authorized personnel can reach company resources without compromising safety.
  • Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB): SASE keeps cloud applications secure with CASB integration. This integrated system provides an additional layer of defense, monitoring and securing access to resources in the cloud.
  • Data Loss Prevention (DLP): SASE provides a layer of advanced security, utilizing DLP (Data Loss Protection) to defend against data loss and potential breaches. It enforces certain restrictions on the flow of sensitive information entering or leaving cloud apps for enhanced protection.
  • Secure Web Gateway (SWG):  SWG solutions from SASE provide unparalleled protection to users, wherever they may be. Utilizing advanced technologies like malware detection and phishing prevention, all are shielded from the dangers of modern Internet usage.
  • Consolidated Management: Security doesn't have to be complicated! SASE is the solution, providing users with comprehensive oversight of their safety measures from a single platform. Make monitoring and managing security effortless with a unified view.

Gartner has identified SASE as a cloud service that revolutionizes data security across multiple points of access, beyond traditional branch networks.
