With applications moving to the cloud and hybrid working, remote users are accessing enterprise resources from anywhere through untrusted links. At the same time, cybersecurity risks have increased dramatically due to the explosion of devices connected to the network and sensitive data hosted in the cloud. As the security perimeter is dissolving, Gartner defined in 2019 the concept of SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) that combines SD?WAN and cloud?delivered security services, SSE (Security Service Edge), bringing a more secure and flexible way to connect by not backhauling application traffic to a data center and performing advanced security inspection in the cloud.
