Hybrid multi-cloud architectures, hybrid work, the Internet of Things (IoT), and other digital disruptors introduced complexity to networks that created the need for a converged approach to networking and security. Secure access service edge (SASE) is a class of solutions that unifies software-defined WAN, cloud-delivered network security (e.g., cloud access security broker, secure web gateway, firewall as a service), and secure remote access (e.g., zero trust network access) onto one platform.
