Top 5 tips for mastering your SASE journey

Transform your network and security with simplicity and power

In an ever-evolving digital landscape, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is transforming how businesses manage network security. Imagine an architecture that seamlessly connects users to any application, anywhere, while streamlining networking and security functions, making your IT team’s job much easier. SASE does just that, securely linking users and devices across data centres, software-defined wide-area networks (SD-WANs), public and private clouds, remote locations, branch offices and IoT environments.

As remote work rapidly gains traction, networks are required to manage a surge in external traffic that originates outside your organisation’s networks. Instead of directing this traffic back to your data centre, SASE directs it to a nearby point of presence (PoP), where it adheres to specific network and security policies.

Let’s explore our top 5 dynamic tips to guide you through your SASE journey and ensure a successful network transition to the cloud, which you can do to best effect with our expert managed service provision by your side.

  1. Uplevel your SD-WAN with cloud-scale power

SASE is the superhero of connectivity, providing secure access from anywhere. Start by enhancing your SD-WAN with a cloud-scale architecture. Focus on fostering secure, seamless connections complemented by integrated multi-cloud access and simplified management. This helps you offer your users the exceptional digital experience they crave – anytime, anywhere – while gathering actionable insights for smarter decision-making.

  1. Streamline cloud security from the core

Kick-off with a robust domain name system (DNS) layer or enhance your current setup by leveraging an open security platform with effortless integrations. Merge multiple security functions into a single, user-friendly, cloud-native service. Make security inherent to your system – no add-ons required – and streamline everything into one powerful package.

  1. Simplify access with Zero Trust foundations

With cyber threats remaining a big cause for concern for all organisations, controlling access is paramount. Implement a straightforward Zero Trust approach to maintain user identity controls, especially for remote and branch workers. Enforce policy-based measures for every access attempt, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), ensuring that only trusted users reach your applications, regardless of where they are hosted.

  1. Choose platform simplicity over piecemeal
