Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)
Reliable, centralised security built for today’s connected world. Our expert team delivers responsive SASE solutions that protect your network, secure your users, and simplify your IT – wherever your business operates.
What is Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)?
SASE is a centralised security framework tailored for that merges network security services and wide-area networking (WAN) capabilities into a cloud-based solution. By combining various network security functionalities—such as secure web gateway, cloud access security broker (CASB), zero trust network access (ZTNA), and intrusion prevention systems (IPS)—SASE simplifies and strengthens network and security management.
At its core, the SASE architecture delivers security services to all edges of the network, ensuring secure access for users regardless of their location. Unlike traditional methods reliant on corporate data centres, SASE solutions decentralise the security perimeter and extend protection to remote users, cloud services, and private cloud data centres.

Why is Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Important?
Evolving Network and Security Needs
Traditional security solutions were built for centralised networks, relying on corporate data centres to enforce a security perimeter. However, as businesses increasingly adopt cloud resources and support remote workforces, this model has become ineffective. Remote users and hybrid networks require secure and efficient access to resources hosted in private cloud data centres and SaaS platforms, bypassing outdated traditional perimeter security protections.
SASE emphasises secure network access by delivering security directly to the network edge, ensuring that users can securely connect to cloud services or on-premise resources without relying on legacy virtual private networks (VPNs).
Enhanced Security Capabilities
Modern threats demand advanced security capabilities that go beyond traditional perimeter-based protections. SASE incorporates technologies such as data loss prevention (DLP) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS), enabling security teams to detect and mitigate risks in real time. By integrating network security services into a centralised and unified management framework, SASE ensures threat protection for all users, devices, and applications.
Simplified Network and Security Management
Managing distributed network connections has traditionally required complex configurations across multiple security tools. SASE solutions simplify this by enabling centralised and unified management of both networking and security aspects, allowing networking and security teams to focus on strategic initiatives instead of operational headaches.
With its centralised network and security services and framework tailored for modern enterprises, SASE provides organisations with a streamlined way to manage network connections while maintaining high levels of data security.
What are the key components of a robust SASE architecture?
- Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA): Enforcing strict user and device identity verification for secure connections.
- Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB): Addressing cloud security risks and ensuring consistent cloud data protection.
- Secure Web Gateway (SWG): Protecting against web-based threats, such as malware and phishing, with advanced URL filtering.
- Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS): Safeguarding networks from malicious attacks through proactive threat protection.
By consolidating these security services into a unified framework, SASE allows businesses to reduce network and security expenses while improving network performance and ensuring comprehensive security.

Key components of SASE solutions
A successful SASE deployment incorporates several critical technologies to ensure seamless and secure connectivity across hybrid environments:
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
ZTNA is a core component of the SASE model, ensuring that users can only access resources they are explicitly authorised for. By enforcing user and device identity verification, ZTNA eliminates implicit trust and protects sensitive data from unauthorised access.
Secure Web Gateway (SWG)
A secure web gateway is essential for protecting how users access corporate resources from online threats like phishing attacks and malicious websites. Advanced URL filtering and malware detection ensure that all web traffic is secure, regardless of whether users are accessing resources from the office or remotely.
Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
The CASB component addresses cloud security concerns by monitoring and controlling data transfers between users and cloud services. CASB also enforces compliance policies and prevents data breaches, ensuring consistent cloud data protection across all platforms.
Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS)
By proactively scanning traffic for malicious activity, IPS solutions provide robust threat protection against attacks targeting networks, applications, and endpoints. This is a critical feature for maintaining a secure and resilient infrastructure.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
DLP tools within the SASE framework safeguard sensitive data by preventing unauthorised sharing or accidental exposure. This ensures compliance with regulations and protects critical business information.
How does SASE address modern challenges?
Digital Transformation and Distributed Workforces
As enterprises undergo digital transformation, they are faced with managing distributed network connections and ensuring secure access for remote users. SASE addresses these challenges by delivering security services directly to the network edge, eliminating the need for limited remote management capabilities associated with traditional solutions.
Cost and Complexity Reduction
By consolidating networking and security functions into a single solution, SASE reduces network and security expenses. The framework’s centralised management capabilities simplify operations, allowing businesses to allocate resources more efficiently.
Scalability and Flexibility
SASE solutions are designed to support hybrid enterprise network environments, providing scalable and flexible security services for businesses of all sizes. Whether connecting remote users to corporate data centres with secure access capabilities or securing cloud-based workloads, SASE ensures secure and seamless connectivity for all users.
