Assured Access with Fortinet Unified SASE

SASE, or secure access security edge, combines WAN (wide area network) facilities with network security focused functions. This synergy offers businesses more robust network performance with stronger control over network and cloud environments.

A typical SASE solution tends to integrate an SD-WAN (software defined wide area network) with security features, such as anti-malware or cloud access security brokers. These should enable secure access and high-performance connectivity to users based in any location.

The reason why SASE is critical for today’s organisations boils downs to the complex threats defining the present and near-term operational landscape.

A key example is VPN (virtual private network) risk, with 56% of organisations experiencing one or more VPN-related cyberattacks in the last year, growing in frequency and sophistication.

As a result, businesses now need enterprise-grade security to cover on-premises and hybrid workforces to address how complex infrastructure might create attack vulnerability.

Are your customers coping with organisational insecurities?

Businesses have evolved with hybrid workforces that require additional provisions to the more traditional on-premises network security facilities. A regular hybrid workforce model often features employees working in branches and remote locations.

No matter where employees are located, they need access to various cloud services, including SaaS, private cloud and internet resources in order to reach business goals. However, maintaining access with high control over remote locations can be difficult without the right security solutions to hand.

Your customers may have:

• Increasing numbers of user traffic through cloud services
• More cloud workloads running
• Larger numbers of SaaS applications in use
• Significant sensitive data sets housed in the cloud

These complex environments mean that there is no longer just one defined security perimeter for organisations. They now have to manage multiple network edges which all require resilient protection to keep confidential information and organisational services secure.
