Adjust Your Security Stack to New Threats FAST with SASE

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) empowers administrators to quickly adjust a security stack to threats due to its unique architecture and features that enable FAST response to threats through several key mechanisms:

Automated Policy Enforcement: SASE solutions can automate the enforcement of security policies. This automation speeds up the response to detected threats by immediately applying necessary actions without manual intervention, ensuring a rapid security response.

Cloud-Native Agility: SASE’s cloud-native framework allows for instant updates and deployment of security policies across the network. This agility is crucial in responding to new threats as they emerge, ensuring that protective measures are always up-to-date.

Enhanced Visibility and Control: With SASE, organizations gain improved visibility into network and user activity. This visibility, combined with centralized control, enables faster identification of threats and quicker implementation of security measures.

Global Distributed Points of Presence (PoPs): SASE uses a distributed network of Points of Presence (PoPs), which ensures security services are delivered geographically close to users. The geographical distribution of SASE PoPs facilitates quick adaptation and response to threats at the edge of the network which reduces latency and improves reaction time.

Integrated Security Services: SASE combines various security services like firewalls, secure web gateways, and intrusion prevention systems in one integrated platform. This approach allows for a more coordinated and faster response to threats, eliminating the delays that can occur when using multiple, disparate security solutions.

Real-Time Threat Intelligence and Analytics: SASE platforms often incorporate real-time threat intelligence and analytics, enabling them to identify and respond to new threats quickly. This capability ensures that the network is protected against the latest security risks.

Scalability and Flexibility: SASE’s flexible architecture allows organizations to scale up or down their security services as needed. This scalability is essential in rapidly adjusting to changing threat landscapes and varying network demands.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA): By implementing a Zero Trust model, SASE solutions do not automatically trust any entity inside or outside the network. This approach continuously verifies and validates users and devices, quickly adapting to potential threats or anomalies.

By integrating these features, SASE provides a dynamic and responsive security framework that can quickly adapt to new and evolving threats, ensuring continuous protection of the network and its resources.
