SASE is an emerging architecture designed to provide secure and seamless connections to applications from any location. It integrates networking and security functions, allowing IT teams to manage multicloud access efficiently while ensuring users have the digital experience they expect, anytime and anywhere.

Zero Trust is a critical component of SASE, focusing on maintaining identity controls for both branch and remote workers. By implementing policy-based controls, organizations can ensure that only trusted users gain access to applications, regardless of where those applications are hosted, thereby enhancing overall security.

Choosing a single vendor for SASE simplifies the architecture, reduces complexity, and can lead to improved performance and lower costs. A unified platform approach allows organizations to address challenges across various environments more effectively, streamlining both networking and security functions.
