Start your SASE journey today
Today’s hybrid work coupled with the growing push of company data and infrastructure into the cloud, prompted Gartner to define a new approach to networking and security: Secure Access Service Edge (SASE).[1]
SASE offers an alternative to traditional data center-oriented security. It unifies networking and security services into a cloud-delivered service to provide access and security from edge to edge— including the data center, remote offices, roaming users, and beyond. The benefits of a SASE architecture are many but can be distilled into three major categories:
● Simplicity: Simplify daily management by automating threat detection, management tasks, and remediation steps.
● Security: Improve your security posture and provide the strongest defense against cyberattacks.
● Scalability: Enable fast, flexible, and scalable networking connections with high-performance
connectivity for users wherever they are.
Implementing a full SASE architecture is a multi-step journey that will be different for every organization. And figuring out the best approach for your network security can be tricky.
Which technology should you adopt? How can you reduce complexity, improve speed and agility, and ultimately secure your network better?
Cisco Customer Experience (CX) provides solutions that include the planning, ease of deployment, and knowledge transfer that you need to scale your business and provide effective security for users anywhere they choose to work, without degradation in speed, performance, or user experience.
