Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

Delivering positive end-user experiences with built-in security. 

Today’s distributed employees expect organizations to provide efficient and secure remote access to applications. A Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture brings together networking and security, providing secure access to applications across a software-defined network.

Burwood Group can help you develop a converged network and security solution, enabling centralized management, policy-based security and visibility, and defense against threats across on-premises and cloud environments.

Burwood meets you where you are on your SASE journey and helps you transition seamlessly and securely to a SASE architecture, so you can deliver positive end-user experiences with built-in security.

What’s Driving the Adoption of SASE?

A highly distributed workforce coupled with a rise in adoption of SaaS applications is driving security to the cloud. Organizations need to be able to secure the transmission of sensitive data and protect assets against an increasingly complex set of threats, regardless of where employees are located.

What Are The Main Challenges Organizations are Facing?

Legacy Migration to the Cloud - Legacy network and security architectures are unable to scale in today’s cloud-enabled world. Historically, applications lived in the data center, network and security stacks were siloed, and there was minimal outbound internet traffic.

Security Gaps - Organizations today require a more holistic way to secure applications used by their hybrid workforce. Many organizations have security gaps caused by incomplete security enforcement or multiple piecemeal security products. These organizations lack holistic visibility over their security policies as a result.

Poor User Experience – Today’s employees and end-users expect to connect to applications efficiently. Backhauling of network traffic to a data center to enforce security policies creates latency and poor user experiences.

What Are The Benefits of a SASE Model?

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) combines WAN capabilities with cloud-based security functions delivered in a single, integrated cloud service. With SASE, enterprises can:

  • Secure, seamless access to the internet and cloud apps and data, any time, anywhere

  • Better user experience with optimized network performance and lower latency

  • Zero trust network access to verify user identity

  • Less costly and more agile infrastructure design

  • Centralized management with distributed enforcement and decision-making.
