How SASE Architecture Helps Your Ultimate Workforce?

Introduction

In today’s tech-driven era, the name SASE has gained massive popularity. The initials stand for Secure Access Service Edge and enable you to combine the connectivity and security functions into a single module – providing consistent performance in the cloud-based framework. According to Statista, in 2021, around 47% of workers in North America stated being familiar with SASE for integrating network security protocols. 

Incorporating this kind of architecture helps the organization to provide secure passage to all the data and applications from anywhere the employees may be working. It aids in improving connectivity, enhances your IT team’s administrative skills, and helps in securing the stored information in your systems.

Exploring the SASE Network Architecture

When Gartner first introduced SASE, it was considered the next revolution in secure networking. Today, with so many enterprise-level digital companies adopting this architecture, its growth seems inevitable. The simple acts of pulling working teams together irrespective of their location, rapid product development, and quick response to changing market conditions – are attributes of digital transformation. To explore more about this architecture and how it works, click here. 

The SASE architecture provides a single network that secures the company’s resources. It offers user individuality, has cloud capabilities, and supports all edges. This architecture uses a single design solution to meet the enterprise-level security requirements.

  • Optimized Data Exchange

SASE incorporates software-defined principles that help the data to move optimally through the network, making the topology less complex. These predefined principles are what a company needs for an enhanced end-user experience.

  • Security as a Service

If you deploy security on your cloud, network delay increases for workers trying to access the system from a remote location. When you disperse your network architecture geographically, approaching the cloud becomes less tedious due to the scattered mobile workforce.

  • Protected System Accessibility

Deploying the Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution with vital multi-stage accessibility across the network layout helps enable improved efficiency. Decoding, examination, and encoding in a cloud happen only once – reducing the waiting period for the users trying to gain access.

SASE improving the performance of your workforce and cybersecurity

SASE uses the high-tech SD-WAN solution to provide higher internet speeds and direct internet access. The workers can then access the required computing resources irrespective of their working spots – be it the operational HQ or from a remote branch facility. Therefore, the MPLS links are not used for this purpose as they make the system slower.

Standalone products have varying operating systems; hence, integrating them with the various security protocols becomes challenging. Deploying the SASE architecture has its perks since it brings down the expenditure and intricacies of your network security infrastructure and allows easier maintenance of this collection of network technologies.

SASE and its benefits 

The combination of software-led WAN (SD-WAN) and data protection rather than a stiff set of technologies is called SASE. The architecture provides many benefits to the companies that choose to opt for it as it allows for a seamless performance at all ends. Let’s explore some of these benefits:

Benefits of SASE
  • A simplified user experience

Traditionally organizations built a solid perimeter to maintain network security, placing all the vulnerable systems inside this predefined boundary. Organizations used virtual Private Networks and multiple protocols to enable network switch-over for systems located in a remote setting. Handling these systems became cumbersome with time. SASE then became the problem solver by embracing the SD-WAN technology to streamline the target-user experience.

  • Distributed enforcement makes scaling and management easier

Previously, organizations have been working to formulate a single firewall for addressing cybersecurity-related issues. Integrating SASE solutions closer to the internal network makes calling and administration easier as the effectuation point is often in the cloud.

  • Consistent security policies

With remote work gaining traction nowadays, employees often need to access work via different locations. Amidst this, integrating security principles at each terminal point depending upon the worker’s identity is made possible via the SASE topology.

  • Improved visibility

SASE provides focused visibility into the user’s behavior as it helps accumulate sensitive information. This aids easier interrelation with multiple systems and helps gain foresight into security incidents – improving debugging.

The Verdict

To make a robust network security solution for your organization, investing in the SASE architecture should be the right way. If you wish to build a topology that is easy to maintain irrespective of the location of your employees, the SASE model, and its compelling advantages will keep you afloat in this highly competitive marketplace.
