SASE

Provides next-generation firewall features in the cloud, removing the need for physical hardware. SASE integrates FWaaS into its cloud-based platform, allowing simplified management and deployment.

This technology gives organisations visibility into where their data resides, enforces company policies for user access and protects data against unauthorised access. SASE integrates CASB services into a single cloud-based platform so stakeholders can easily manage access to apps and data.

Prevents employees and devices from accessing malicious websites, enforce acceptable use policies before users can access the internet, and block inappropriate content. A SASE solution includes SWG to protect users no matter their location.

ZTNA/VPN (Zero Trust Network Access)

Requires every user to authenticate to access the cloud, restricting access and minimising the risk of data loss. Moving to a cloud-based SASE infrastructure eliminates the complexity of connecting to a gateway. Users, devices and apps are identified no matter where they connect from.

WAAPaaS (Cloud Web Application and API Protection as a Service)

The evolution of cloud web application firewall services, expanding scope and security depth. A WAAP actually resides at the outer edge of a network in front of the public side of a web application and analyses incoming traffic.

DNS (Domain Name System) security 

DNS was not designed with security in mind, and there are many types of attacks created to exploit vulnerabilities in the DNS system. DNS security protects against attacks by digitally signing data to help ensure its validity.

RBI (Remote Browser Isolation)

Separates browsing activity from endpoint hardware, thereby reducing the device’s attack surface. When a user accesses a web page or app, it is loaded onto a remote browser that serves a rendering of the webpage to the user. The page operates normally, but only pixels are delivered to the user.

SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network)

These devices provide easier connectivity for branch offices. With SASE, these devices are connected to a cloud-based infrastructure rather than to physical SD-WAN hubs located in other locations for reduced complexity and improved interconnectivity.

Carriers

A telecommunications carrier network is the collection of devices and underlying infrastructure used to transmit data from one location to another.

CDN (Content Delivery Network)

A geographically distributed group of servers, working together to provide fast delivery of internet content.

WAN (Wide Area Network) optimisation

The goal of WAN optimisation is to increase the speed with which end users can access business-critical applications and information, by overcoming network latency, minimising packet loss and mitigating capacity limitations.

NaaS (Network-as-a-Service)

A cloud service model in which customers rent networking services from a cloud provider, allowing customers to operate their own networks without maintaining their own networking infrastructure.

Bandwidth aggregation

A comprehensive solution that boosts network data rates and flexibility, enhances performance of high-bandwidth applications and enables network usage to grow cost efficiently.
