Unified Management Is The Key to Single-Vendor SASE
Fortinet News , Wednesday, September 13,2023
It's no secret that SASE has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years due in large part to how the solution provides strong threat protection and secure access no matter where a user, device, or application is located. This is no small feat, especially in the work-from-anywhere (WFA) era, where employees are logging in from a coffee shop one day and the office the next.
Because of the popularity of SASE, many vendors are trying to get a piece of the pie and are making strong claims about their offerings that may fall short in practice. One of the most misunderstood SASE features is unified management, which empowers organizations with a simple management console for their entire solution-both the networking and security components. Because this is such an important element of any SASE deployment, customers need to understand how to cut through the marketing chatter and procure the best solution for their needs.
