Key components of SASE

SASE can be broken down into six essential elements.

Software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN)

Facilitate expansion
Leverage the expertise of seasoned cyber security experts in Australia to detect and handle potential risks to your business. Our recommendations are grounded in the context of Australian business and society, reflecting the reality of our local communities.

Firewall as a service (FWaaS)

Firewall as a service moves firewall protection to the cloud instead of the traditional network perimeter. This enables organizations to securely connect a remote, mobile workforce to the corporate network, while still enforcing consistent security policies that reach beyond the organization’s geographic footprint.

Secure web gateway (SWG)

A secure web gateway is a web security service that filters unauthorized traffic from accessing a particular network. The goal of a SWG is to zero in on threats before they penetrate a virtual perimeter. A SWG accomplishes this by combining technologies like malicious code detection, malware elimination, and URL filtering.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

Zero Trust Network Access is a set of consolidated, cloud-based technologies that operates on a framework in which trust is never implicit and access is granted on a need-to-know, least-privileged basis across all users, devices, and applications. In this model, all users must be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validated before being granted access to company private applications and data. ZTNA eliminates the poor user experience, operational complexities, costs, and risk of a traditional VPN.

Cloud access security broker (CASB)

A cloud access security broker is a SaaS application that acts as a security checkpoint between on-premises networks and cloud-based applications and enforces data security policies. A CASB protects corporate data through a combination of prevention, monitoring, and mitigation techniques. It can also identify malicious behavior and warn administrators about compliance violations.

Centralized and unified management

A modern SASE platform allows IT administrators to manage SD-WAN, SWG, CASB, FWaaS, and ZTNA through centralized and unified management across networking and security. This frees IT team members to focus their energy in other more pressing areas and boosts the user experience for the organization’s hybrid workforce.

FAQ

ABOUT ‘’SASE/SSE Architecture’’
ciso online’s EXPERT ANSWERS

What does SASE mean in Security?

Secure access service edge (abbreviated SASE) is a cloud-based security architecture that converges software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) with a consolidated cloud-delivered security stack that features SWG, CASB, ZTNA, and FWaaS.

What is SASE Architecture?

SASE architecture is a leading architectural model, powered by a global scalable network, that boosts hybrid workforce productivity and reduces complexity in today’s distributed enterprise environments.

How does SASE work?

SASE differs from traditional network security approaches in the way it inspects and connects users, endpoints, and remote networks to apps and resources. Where traditional enterprise network security options backhaul traffic to private networks and corporate data centers through secure web gateways and firewalls, SASE provides a global, consistent presence at the point of access. This model eliminates the poor user experience, operational complexities, costs, and risk of traditional security models, reduces the enterprise attack surface, and enhances IT agility.

What are the capabilities of SASE?

SASE solutions are made up of six essential elements, which provide a wide range of capabilities:

  • Software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN):An overlay architecture that creates virtual connections between endpoints.
  • Secure web gateway (SWG):A web security service that keeps unauthorized traffic from accessing a particular network.
  • Cloud access security broker (CASB):A SaaS application that acts as a security checkpoint between on-premises networks and cloud-based apps.
  • Firewall as a service (FWaaS):A solution that moves firewall protection to the cloud instead of the traditional network perimeter.
  • Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA):An IT solution that requires all users to be explicitly authenticated, authorized, and continuously validated to access company apps and data.
  • Centralized and unified management:Policy management from a single console.
What are the benefits of SASE?

When properly implemented, SASE allows organisations to ensure secure access no matter where their users, devices, or applications are located. Additionally, SASE offers:

  1. Flexible, comprehensive security—from threat protection to next-generation firewall.
  2. Optimized performance and an improved user experience (for example, reduced latency and on-demand security).
  3. Reduced cost and complexity, thanks to the consolidation of key networking and security functions into fewer solutions.

4. Agile, scalable network edge, which accelerates digital transformation and IoT adoption and enables the modern hybrid workforce with better productivity and reduce complexity across the organisation.

What is Microsoft Global Secure Access?

Microsoft Global Secure Access is a cloud-based security solution designed to provide secure and scalable access to corporate resources, regardless of the location or device of the user. It helps protect against cyber threats and ensures compliance with security policies.

What technologies are integrated into Microsoft Global Secure Access?

Microsoft Global Secure Access integrates several technologies, including:

  • Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
  • Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
  • Secure Web Gateways (SWGs)
  • Identity and Access Management (IAM)
  • Endpoint Security
How does Microsoft Global Secure Access support Zero Trust principles?

Microsoft Global Secure Access supports Zero Trust principles by:

  • Verifying the identity of users and devices.
  • Continuously assessing the security posture of devices.
  • Limiting access based on the principle of least privilege.
  • Monitoring and logging access for audit and compliance purposes.
