Why MSSPs Embrace Unified SASE Solutions
Fortinet News, Thursday, March 7th, 2024
Managed security services providers (MSSPs) face challenges as they try to stay competitive in the rapidly evolving networking market while helping their customers defend against increasingly sophisticated threats.
Fortunately, with secure access service edge (SASE), MSSPs have a solution that can help their enterprise customers better manage complex hybrid network environments without sacrificing cybersecurity.
As a cloud architecture that combines security service edge (SSE) and SD-WAN solutions, SASE has multiple embedded technologies. On the cloud security services side of SASE, there are three main elements: secure web gateway (SWG), zero-trust network access (ZTNA), and cloud access security broker (CASB).
On the networking side, SASE features software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN), Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), bi-directional access to the web, and unified management.
