SASE in 2 Minutes, An Intro by Amit Bareket (Perimeter 81 Co-founder)

Learn about the trends which have culminated in a new type of network security product: SASE, or Secure Access Service Edge. Amit Bareket, CEO of Perimeter 81, explains how and why SASE sees the future of security as a cloud-based solution.

A Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform provides organizations the opportunity to simply connect to a single secure network where they can gain access to physical and cloud resources – no matter their location.

SASE enables IT security solutions to provide a more holistic and agile service for business networking and security for its customers. What makes SASE innovative and disruptive is the idea of how it will transform the way network security is consumed over traditional products and cloud services.

SASE enables the delivery of integrated secure network security services that supports digital business transformation, edge computing, workforce mobility and identity and access management. In addition to improved security and network performance, key benefits include increased user and IT staff productivity, operational efficiency, cost reduction and new digital business scenario enablement.

Additionally, cloud-based SASE offerings enable organizations to update their security solutions against new threats and establish policies more quickly for agile adoption of new security capabilities. By reducing the overall number of security vendors and solutions, the number of physical and/or virtual appliances will be reduced along with the number of agents needed for end-user and edge devices, reducing complexity and costs for organizations.
