Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

Finger pointing at a web cloud of fuctionality

SASE brings together SD-WAN and security in the cloud to help you create a high-performing environment that’s protected at the network, application and device layers. You choose what features and services best suit your unique needs and we can design, build and manage everything for you.

A software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) is a virtually configured service that connects data centres to branches and to the cloud. It’s an integral component of the SASE architecture.
