Companies looking to lower hardware costs without sacrificing security
A: Traditional network and perimeter security relies on appliance-based firewalls that require expensive capital outlays and need to be installed at a physical office location. SASE solutions like Smart Secure Edge utilize a cloud-based firewall so employees can connect from anywhere with secure remote access and no need for a physical firewall.
A: Cloud-based SASE solutions rely on global points of presence (PoPs) and IPSEC tunnels that are typically known for their speed and stability. Furthermore, SASE solutions deliver agents directly to approved devices, so connectivity is always-on and users don’t need to manually log into VPN clients as with traditional SSL VPN solutions.
A: Actually, no. Most enterprises have complex infrastructure that often benefit from traditional firewall deployments. SASE is ideally suited for small to mid-sized businesses and remote or hybrid teams looking for enterprise-grade protection without incurring significant capital expenditures.
A: Smart Secure Edge can be configured on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, and Chromebook devices, ensuring your workforce has comprehensive connectivity and security.
