What is SASE and its Core Components?
A robust understanding of this framework requires looking at its two main pillars. On the networking side, it incorporates WAN optimisation and SD-WAN capabilities. On the security side, it brings together Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Secure Web Gateways, and Firewall-as-a-Service. All of this is delivered as a unified service to end-user devices, edge computing, and branch offices.
Why the Move to Zero Trust Matters
Critically, the move toward What is SASE is also a move toward Zero Trust Network Access. Also known as the software-defined perimeter, ZTNA is an identity-driven approach. By default, it denies access to a network and data—even from within the office—rather than assuming a device can be trusted. This significantly improves risk management and reduces the impact of potential security breaches.
