My new favorite company took center stage in iconic New York Times Square today with a multi-story high 3D visualization of our revolutionary secure access service edge (SASE) platform. It’s positively mesmerizing, take a look: The move signals a seismic shift happening across enterprises, the need to have an IT infrastructure that can easily adapt to anything at any time, and the transformative power of Cato’s networking and security platform.
The nature of the modern digital business is constantly and rapidly evolving, requiring network and security architectures to move at the same speed. Moving at the speed of business demands a new architecture that is agile, flexible, highly scalable, and very secure to keep pace with dynamic business changes. In short, this requires SASE.
It’s been a long journey toward securing and optimizing the enterprise branch, from the days of rigid MPLS networks to the agile era of SD-WAN. Now comes the next stage of that journey: Secure access service edge (SASE), which, when architected correctly, converges the most important network and security capabilities into a single cloud-delivered service. Before we talk about how, though, let’s examine why SASE’s moment is now.
