The Networking And Security Shifts Fueling The Rise Of SASE
Check Point, Monday, September 8th, 2025
Today's workplace is no longer defined by office walls. Consequently, IT and security teams must rethink their approach to access and security. Enter Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), an architecture that merges network and security services into a unified, cloud-delivered platform. SASE has grown rapidly in importance since its introduction a few years ago and is now a must-have for any organization with remote and hybrid teams.
1. The Rise of the Hybrid Workforce
Forty-eight percent of knowledge workers are hybrid or remote, and 60% of organizations larger than 500 people use a hybrid work model. These employees need to be able to connect from anywhere - home, airport, customer site - and still access corporate apps securely. Traditional security tools, built for data centers and fixed perimeters, simply can't keep up.
