Where Enterprises struggle on the road to SASE

From fragmented technology to a lack of expertise, enterprise networks and security operations are more fragile than they seem.

Compliance with regulation

76% of CISOs report that fragmentation of regulations across jurisdictions affect ability to maintain compliance – requiring expert-led architecture

Gaps in Security Posture

70% of incidents involved multi-pronged attacks that exploited 3 or more attack surfaces – requiring consistent security posture

Securing enterprise data & apps

41% of attacks leveraged excessive privileges, allowing lateral movement leading to data theft – requiring least privilege access & data security measures

Fragmented Visibility & Control

75% of incidents had evidence in logs but silos prevented detection. 40% of cloud incidents stemmed from shadow IT – emphasizing unified visibility

Integration complexities

23% of cloud security breaches are due to misconfigurations – emphasizing the need for first-time right deployment.

Comparing security approaches, performance, scalability, cost, and user experience, here’s how the two approaches stack up. Read on to find the best fit for you.

Read More

My traditional firewall protects my internet traffic. Why do I need SASE?

Traditional firewalls protect traffic at the network edge. SASE extends security to users, devices, and cloud applications—delivering consistent, zero-trust protection and visibility wherever internet access occurs, not just within the corporate perimeter.

I have an existing VPN that works well. Why do I need SASE?

VPNs secure access to a static perimeter. SASE is built for today's distributed, cloud-first enterprises—combining networking and security to deliver consistent policies, better performance, zero-trust access, and visibility across users, devices, and applications, wherever they connect from.

How should I go about my SASE adoption?

SASE adoption is inherently complex, spanning networking, security, cloud, and user access. A phased, use-case-led approach tailored to your organization's architecture, risk posture, and business priorities enables faster value realization while supporting long-term transformation.

What are the typical challenges during SASE adoption?

SASE adoption is commonly hindered by architectural complexity, fragmented vendor ecosystems, unclear security policies, and skills gaps—often resulting in extended deployment timelines, operational inefficiencies, and slower realization of expected business outcomes.

Why should I engage a Managed Services Provider for SASE?

SASE adoption is complex and high impact. A Managed Services Provider brings proven expertise, continuous oversight, and seamless integration—reducing misconfigurations, strengthening security, accelerating deployment, and ensuring reliable, resilient operations as the environment evolves.
