SASE
Secure Access Service Edge
A cloud model combining networking and security functions at the edge.
SASE converges wide area networking with security services such as secure web gateways, cloud access security brokers, firewall as a service, and zero trust network access into a single cloud delivered platform. It suits distributed workforces by applying consistent policy close to users rather than backhauling traffic to a central data center. The model aligns closely with zero trust principles and is frequently paired with SD-WAN, which provides the underlying connectivity that SASE secures.
Say "sassy": SD-WAN networking plus cloud-delivered security, combined into one edge service.
Looking SASE up is step one. Getting tested on it is step two.
