With the rise of the hybrid workforce, organizations have had to secure their employees who access the network and applications from on-site and off-site. This work-from-anywhere (WFA) shift has significantly expanded the attack surface, encompassing home offices and mobile workers, thereby increasing the complexity of network, application, and resource security.
A secure access service edge (SASE) architecture helps address these exploits by providing secure access and high-performance connectivity to users in branches large and small or in any remote location. However, many SASE solutions only solve part of the problem. They either fail to provide consistent enterprise-grade cybersecurity to their hybrid workforce or cannot seamlessly integrate with the range of physical and virtual network and security tools deployed at the network edge. The result is an inability to deliver consistent cybersecurity and optimal user experiences.
