Secure SD-WAN Is Foundational; Unified SASE Is Essential

Organizations that have invested in secure SD-WAN have optimized on-premises user experiences, enhanced operational efficiency, and reduced costs. As hybrid work has increased in the last few years, organizations want to extend similar experiences to work-from-anywhere (WFA) users.
The Challenge
Many organizations struggle with maintaining a consistent security approach and a seamless user experience, which is needed to close security gaps and improve productivity for WFA users. The traditional VPN-based approach presents significant challenges for IT teams attempting to enforce consistency across a distributed workforce. VPNs rely on implicit trust, creating significant security risks, including unauthorized access, lateral movement of threats, and increased attack surface exposure.
