SASE, SD-WAN, CWS, SA

Secure Access Service Edge (“SASE” or the “service offering”) is a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) cloud networking and cloud security platform that allows for simplicity, scalability, and security. SASE couples network security functions with Wide Area Network (WAN) to deliver automated access to applications and workloads in the cloud by extending software-defined networking and security to Infrastructure-as-a-Service (“IaaS”) and SaaS providers. The service offering includes:

A Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) that decouples networking services from the underlying network to allow application traffic to be carried independently of the underlying components.

Cloud Web Security (CWS) service which provides a secure web gateway (SWG), and cloud access security broker (CASB)

Zero Trust Network Access (Secure Access / SA) utilizes identity-, location-, and context-based approach that “trusts no one,” granting authorized resources on-demand.
