The next iteration in the history of technology convergence emerged with Gartner’s Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). Networking and security vendors have been integrating capabilities for decades, and market adoption of these integrations has only accelerated due to innovations such as virtualization and cloud computing. From a networking perspective, routing of traffic extends far beyond IP and MAC addresses to now include application steering and transport-agnostic overlay networks. From a security perspective, the next-generation firewall brought together a full stack solution capable of inspecting packets, URLs, and macro address information with unified threat management (UTM).
SASE brings together these two areas in a manner which revolutionizes the way IT, network, and security organizations will manage their respective domains as well as interoperate cross-functionally. With revolution comes disruption to standard operating procedures; and, that disruption can bring confusion, complexity, and cost in the near term to achieve long-term…
