Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)
What is SASE?
SASE converges cloud networking with security for simplicity, scalability, flexibility, and pervasive security. Combining network security functions with WAN capabilities, SASE delivers secure, optimal, and automated access to applications and workloads in the cloud. Regardless of the location of users and applications, SASE provides you with secure access from a single management platform.

2021 Strategic Roadmap for SASE Convergence by Gartner
SASE has never been more relevant. The accelerated and sustained transition to work from anywhere has made converged cloud networking and cloud security a necessity.
Gartner, who first coined the term SASE in 2019, has further defined what SASE looks like today and in the future and the secret ingredient is Cloud. Some key takeaways from their SASE roadmap include:
- To protect anywhere, anytime access to digital capabilities, security must become software-defined and cloud-delivered, forcing changes in security architecture and vendor selection.
- SASE security policy enforcement is dispersed in the cloud. This requires a software-based, hardware-neutral architecture deployed across multiple points of presence (POPs) with policy enforcement close to the point of consumption.
- SASE solutions are cloud-delivered, but vendors vary in the degree of “cloud nativeness” of their architecture. Legacy appliance and virtual appliance architectures need to be broken down into smaller, scalable components.
- Where physical SWG, CASB and VPN appliances are used, we advise enterprises move off these appliances at the soonest refresh possible and shift to cloud offerings. The legacy perimeter must transform into a set of cloud-based, converged capabilities created when and where an enterprise needs them — that is, a dynamically created, policy-based secure access service edge.
Benefits of SASE
SASE secures the newly distributed workforce and network edge so people, apps, and devices can communicate from anywhere. The VMware SASE advantage is a unified edge and cloud service model with a single place to manage business policy, configuration, and monitoring.

SASE Components
SASE architecture works together to provide a cloud-first approach, application quality assurance, intrinsic security, and operational simplicity. The components of SASE include: software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN), zero trust network access (ZTNA), cloud web security (CWS), and artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps).
SD-WAN
Decouples networking services from the underlying networks, allowing application traffic to be carried independently of the underlying physical or transport components.
Zero Trust Network Access
Shifts from network-centric security to an approach based on identity, location, and context that “trusts no one,” granting authorized resources on-demand.
AIOPs
Reduce network troubleshooting and optimization and improve the end-user experience through network analytics, problem isolation, and actionable remediation enabled by AI/ML.
Cloud Web Security
Provides a set of cloud-based security services that include a secure web gateway (SWG), cloud access security broker (CASB), data loss prevention (DLP), and remote browser isolation (RBI).
