Top SASE Solution Providers and Implementation Experts
Cloud computing and cloud-based networks require specialized solutions that prioritize security from threats around the clock. That’s where Secure Access Service Edge solutions come in to ensure anything from remote access to server security.The world has changed drastically in recent years, causing many businesses and organizations to turn to a new paradigm that has resulted in a more streamlined workflow with remote resources. At first glance, this enables employees to work remotely from the safety of their own homes. The internet allows people to work remotely from wherever they are as long as they have a laptop and an internet connection, allowing companies to pull in excellent employees from around the world.
However, the caveat is that this solution does not ease the requirements of network security. The risks increase exponentially when multiple new points of access are added. And since conventional network security practices focus on a certain location, the remote work model does not fall under its parameters and this cannot provide adequate security. That is, unless the company reaches out to Secure Access Service Edge providers like Sensoft Solutions.
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Providers
While implementation of SASE policies may seem daunting at first glance, nothing could be further from the truth. It is possible to examine and modify a business’ current network security infrastructure. Existing security infrastructure can be modified to provide to both a company and its employees a secure way to access the business’ network. However, each person possessing a device that serves as an access point will also be educated in internet security that will enable them to keep themselves and the company’s network secure.
The flexibility of SASE implementation allows companies to also streamline their networks by setting aside older network security practices that provide security at the rate of greatly reducing productivity and efficiency. We speak of the traditional hairpinning method which involved scanning all data that came into the server before executing any set tasks. While this method could be efficient to a certain degree in reducing threats, it also puts a significant strain on the server’s own resources, reducing the capability of the network to transfer data as a whole. However, with SASE implementation, there are multiple “checkpoints” at the access points themselves, allowing the server to take in data that’s already been scanned.
The main elements of SASE implementation
SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network)
This will become a part of the foundation of your network. It helps guard against malicious entities by selecting the fastest and safest routes for internet traffic. Having an SD-WAN overlay your network architecture is also a good way to manage network security and data traffic policies across multiple points of access across the world, with the potential for scalability when the need arises.
Cloud Security (CASB)
A Cloud access security brokers are a form of secondary protection that exists between the cloud server and those who wish to access it. It monitors access constantly and blocks any that does not match up to specifications.
Next-Gen Firewalls
Firewalls have been a staple in internet security for a long time now, and have only gotten more vital and sophisticated in preventing malicious network intrusions (or any other kind of intrusion, really.). Which is why we at Sensoft Solutions are able to provide firewalls that are yet to be widespread.
Secure Web Gateway
This is the bread and butter of any SASE implementation. It allows only for authorized access and blocks all unverified or outdated access tokens/requests. This is another aspect of the zero-trust policy of SASE implementation. Any access point will need to provide their personalized login credentials, something that can also be paired with two-factor authentication to ensure only designated users are able to access the network through the SWG
Management Simplicity
All SASE implementation options listed above and more can be accessed from the convenience of any device provided one has the right authorization credentials.
With the above security measures and a few more that could be discussed more privately, Sensoft Solutions will provide your company with a secure internet infrastructure that also improves your network’s efficiency overall, bringing about the potential for a faster, more streamlined user experience.
