Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), a cloud-based security architecture that prioritizes data protection over hardware or even enterprise networks, is fast gaining traction in our business. SASE is a networking and security as a service platform. Secure Access Service Edge is a term that was ordinally coined by analyst firm Gartner. It simplifies wide-area networking and security by delivering both as a cloud service directly to the source of connection rather than the enterprise data center.

Existing network approaches and technology just aren't capable of providing the amounts of security and access control that digital businesses demand. These companies expect that their users have quick, uninterrupted access, no matter where they are. With more distant users and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, data moving from the data center to cloud services, and more traffic moving to public cloud services and branch offices than returning to the data center, a new network security approach is needed.

The SASE security paradigm can benefit an enterprise in a variety of ways.

Flexibility: 

Threat prevention, web filtering, sandboxing, DNS security, credential theft prevention, data loss prevention, and next-generation firewall policies can all be implemented and delivered using a cloud-based architecture.

Cost-saving: 

Using a single platform instead of buying and managing several point products will drastically cut your expenses and IT resources.

Reduced Complexity: 

By unifying your security stack into a cloud-based network security service model, you can simplify your IT infrastructure by reducing the number of security products your IT team has to manage, update, and maintain.
