SASE SECURITY

What is SASE ?

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is an innovative security framework that brings together networking and security features in a single, cloud-based service.

It combines wide area networking (WAN) capabilities with essential security functions like firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS), secure web gateways (SWG), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), DNS

Security, cloud access security brokers (CASB), data loss prevention (DLP), TLS Inspection, threat prevention, and next-generation firewall (NGFW) policies.

Why is it getting popular?

With an increase in remote users and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, data moving from the data center to cloud services, and more traffic going to public cloud services and branch offices than back to the data center, the need for a new approach for network security has risen.
Existing network approaches and technologies simply no longer provide the levels of security and access control digital organizations need. These organizations demand immediate, uninterrupted access for their users, no matter where they are located

A SASE solution provide complete session protection, regardless of whether a user is on or off the corporate network, you can easily connect to wherever resources are located. Access to apps, the internet, and corporate data is available globally.

SASE Advantages:

deploying new security features and capabilities becomes easier when it’s implemented within the SASE cloud, as most infrastructure aspects are handled by the SASE solution.
simplify IT infrastructure by minimizing the number of security products your IT team has to manage, update and maintain, consolidating your security stack into a cloud-based network security service model.
data-at-rest posture security using API connector and data-in-transit traffic.
With a cloud infrastructure, you can easily connect to wherever resources are located. Access to apps, the internet, and corporate data is available globally.

CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) serves as a key component in the comprehensive SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) security solution by enabling secure and centralized control over cloud application access, data protection, and threat prevention

What is (CASB) Cloud Access Security Brokers?

In today’s environment, users need access to a variety of apps which can create challenges for enforcing your organization’s security and compliance policies.

Cloud apps are now an integral part of the working day and require a different solution beyond firewalls and threat protection.

To help users safely access and use cloud apps, Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) solution lets you enforce a corporate policy that minimizes security incidents and compliance violations ,

Traditional firewalls did not incorporate CASB functionality, as the concept of CASB emerged later to specifically tackle the security demands of cloud applications and data, which were not prevalent in the traditional firewall landscape.

CASB solution is designed to enable your organization to deliver:
