Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) belongs to the areas of cybercrime and cybersecurity as well as digital transformation.
SASE is a modern security concept that helps companies to protect their IT networks and secure access to digital applications. In the past, companies with fixed locations were protected by so-called firewalls. Today, however, many people work on the move, from home or on the move, and often use cloud services. SASE combines various security functions such as firewall, identity verification and data encryption in a single, cloud-based service.
Instead of having to buy and install many different security solutions separately, SASE provides companies with everything from a single source - flexibly and quickly via the internet. This not only saves costs, but also increases security because threats are recognised and stopped in real time.
An example: An employee works from home and needs access to important company data in the cloud. Thanks to Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), their connection is automatically checked and protected, regardless of the location or device they are working from. This means that confidential data remains secure, even if the company network is spread across many locations.
