Description
SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) has become a topic of increased industry discussion and interest for enterprises and partners alike. That’s because today’s organizations require immediate, uninterrupted, and secure access to network and cloud-based resources and data – especially business-critical applications – no matter where their users are located.
Digital innovation creates new challenges for organizations, including dynamically changing network configurations and the rapid expansion of the attack surface. This has resulted in new and incremental opportunities to provide additional levels of protection and access control that these organizations and users require. These are challenges that a SASE solution is designed to address.
However, there are two critical things to remember about the selection and implementation of any SASE solution. The first is that it must be easily integrated into your larger security strategy. If not, you are simply creating yet another set of stand-alone security solutions that require additional attention and resources. The second is that any SASE solution must not only meet current access and flexibility needs, but it must also support a Security-driven Networking strategy so it can quickly and automatically adapt to new network changes and evolving business requirements as they occur while providing robust, continuously-improved security and performance.
Ryan Edwards, Sr. Systems Engineer - Enterprise, Fortinet
I started working with technology when I was in 6th grade, learning to program in Pascal on an Apple IIc, which was the seed for my passion in technology. Since then, I have always stayed close to technology and have enjoyed seeing what it has transformed our world into. I take pride in having over 27 years of distinct experience in the IT industry and I like to think I am a “go getter” capable of taking on just about anything the industry can throw out. I welcome new challenges, trusting my team, experience and knowledge in the industry to help solve them.
