IDC: Taking a smart approach to making single-vendor SASE a reality
Read this analyst report to learn how you can take a smart approach to making single-vendor SASE a reality with Aruba Networks. Find all of your top questions answered to help you implement SASE effectively.
Modernizing Networking and Security
In today's digital business landscape, characterized by constant connectivity and a distributed workforce, organizations are recognizing the need to connect people, devices, applications, and resources securely and efficiently. Traditional network security methods, which primarily focused on perimeter defenses, are no longer sufficient. With users accessing resources from various locations, including remote and cloud environments, a more dynamic approach to security is essential. This shift necessitates a comprehensive network security stack that can deliver high performance without compromising service quality, addressing the complexities introduced by hybrid work environments.
Role of Single-Vendor SASE
Single-vendor SASE plays a crucial role in addressing the gaps created by the transformation of networks and the rise of hybrid work. By integrating security and networking capabilities into a unified solution, single-vendor SASE simplifies management and enhances security posture. This approach allows organizations to deliver consistent, high-quality services to users based on their identity, regardless of their location. The tighter integration of components reduces the complexity associated with managing multiple standalone products, making it easier for businesses to secure their decentralized resources.
Pragmatic SASE Adoption Path
The journey to adopting SASE is unique for each organization, as there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Companies must consider their existing security gaps, technology investments, and upgrade cycles when planning their SASE strategy. As contracts come up for renewal, opportunities arise for integrating SASE components. Organizations can start their SASE adoption with either security technologies like Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) or networking technologies such as SD-WAN, depending on their specific needs. The key is to ensure that the chosen SASE solution is modular and flexible, allowing for a tailored approach that aligns with the organization's goals.
