The document discusses Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), a concept coined by Gartner that combines network and security functions into a cloud-delivered service aimed at modern enterprises. By 2024, it's predicted that 40% of enterprises will adopt SASE to adapt to increasingly distributed operations and the limitations of traditional centralized solutions. The Ananda Network proposes a flexible, unified approach to networking and security, emphasizing direct connections, cloud management, and a zero-trust model.
SASE
The term SASE(Secure Access Service Edge) was coined by Gartner
analysts Neil MacDonald and Joe Skorupa in late 2019. It refers to a
cloud-delivered service that combines network functions (SWG, CASB,
FWaaS, ZTNA, etc.) with networking functions (primarily SD-WAN), thus
making up the next generation secure access tool.

THE 3 CHARACTERISTICSOF SASE
It converges networking and security functions
1
It relies on identity as currency
2
It applies real time context and security policies

WHY DO WENEED SASE
The enterprise is becoming increasingly distributed (people
working from home, edge computing, cloud adoption)
1
2
3 The modern, distributed enterprise needs a new, more
flexible consumption model for connectivity and security
Old centralized hardware (e.g. the firewall/VPN) at the data
center is becoming ineffective and obsolete

THE ANANDA NETWORKAPPROACH TO SASE
You cannot solve a distributed problem with a centralized solution.
The distributed enterprise requires a distributed solution
1
2
3 Enterprises need a flexible, cloud-based consumption model
Security and networking solutions should not be afterthoughts.
They should be built into the network fabric
4
The siloed approach to connecting and securing different types of
network traffic (remote access, inter-branch, cloud, LAN, etc.)
should be replaced with a unified solution
