The shift to hybrid work models and cloud native applications has shattered the traditional network perimeter. Today, employees connect from home offices, branch sites and public networks, while mission-critical workloads span multiple public and private clouds. This new reality demands a security model that is as distributed as the workforce itself and as dynamic as emerging cyber threats. Enter Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). By unifying networking and security into a single, cloud-native platform, SASE enforces continuous, identity-based policies across every connection be it on premises or in the cloud.
Frost & Sullivan’s Global SASE Growth Opportunities study provides an in-depth exploration of how AI-driven threat prevention, zero trust access controls, and automated operations will reshape enterprise security.
