SASE and Zero Trust: A Powerful Combination

            By Elena Thomas, Digital Marketing Manager, SafeAeon Inc.



            Gone are the days when network security resembled a medieval castle. It was protected by a robust
            drawbridge and moat. In our modern realm, we have virtualization, cloud computing, and nomadic remote
            workers. This has shifted the location of our metaphorical moat. It's important to note that the moat might
            not shield us from traitors inside our castle walls.

            Enter protectors: Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). These
            two modern-day knights are gaining traction fast. Organizations are looking to them to fortify their growing
            remote workforces from potential threats.

            Where remote work is now common, security teams face a vast array of endpoints. They find themselves
            navigating an ever-expanding terrain daily. Each day brings new challenges in protecting a sprawling
            virtual  landscape.  In  response,  many  organizations  are  revamping  their  processes  and  technology.
            They're opting for the strongholds provided by a zero-trust approach. To add more flexibility and security,
            businesses are turning to Secure Access Service Edge (SASE).

            A  recent  study  commissioned  by  IBM  and  conducted  by  Forrester  Consulting  revealed  a  trend.  A
            whopping 78% of respondents are considering or planning to adopt SASE within the next year. So, what
            is SASE, and how does it connect with zero trust? Let's explore that!

            So, what exactly SASE is, and how does it intertwine with the zero-trust method? Let's dive in!
