The three keys to achieving SASE

Recently introduced by Gartner, SASE — Secure Access Service Edge — is a forward-thinking framework in which networking and security functions converge into a single integrated service that works at the cloud edge to deliver protection and performance in one simplified approach.

The three keys to SASE success

• Simplicity — consolidate services into a single platform across users, devices, clouds, campuses and branches to streamline deployment, policy management, investigation and reporting.
• Security — combine multiple security functions into a single cloud-native service, deploying protection by location and user and scaling centrally across your network or SD-WAN.
• Scalability — a microservices-based architecture with direct peering and a high-volume network delivers superior speed, reliability and low latency as traffic grows.

Cisco Umbrella: an investment in cloud security

Cisco's Umbrella product sits at the heart of the Cisco SASE architecture — a cloud-native security service that unifies leading networking and security solutions in one platform, with open APIs and an ecosystem built for maximum extensibility.
