Secure Edge (SASE)

A unified, cloud-delivered secure networking platform for modern, hybrid work. Consolidate tool sprawl, cut complexity and raise your security posture - without slowing users down.

Built for todays hybrid workforce

Your users work everywhere and your apps live across private DCs, SaaS and multi-cloud. Kordia Secure Edge (SASE) applies Zero Trust controls and inline security at the closest cloud edge, so connections stay fast while policies stay consistent - on-net, off-net and on any device. That means seamless access, less backhauling, and a better experience for Microsoft 365, Teams, voice and line-of-business apps.

Key Features

Comprehensive secure access & visibility

Delivered through a single management console and backed by quarterly reviews and continuous policy tuning.

  • Secure Internet Access (SWG, FWaaS, SSL inspection, IPS, DNS security)
  • Secure Private Access (ZTNA to private apps)
  • Secure SaaS Access (CASB + DLP for cloud apps)
  • Optional Secure SD-WAN (application-aware routing, branch resiliency)
  • Digital Experience Monitoring (user-centric visibility and proactive fixes)


How it works
1.
Discover & assess
We work with you to map out your current WAN/security estate, risks and goals to produce a SASE readiness and outcomes map.
2.
Design & validate
For example, we would work with you to define policies and segmentation leading to a pilot SWG/ZTNA to prove performance and experience.
3.
Implement & optimise
Together we co-develop a plan to phase in full SASE capabilities, migrate policies, then co-manage or fully manage with ongoing optimisation and reporting.

Business outcomes & ROI

  • Lower costs by consolidating point tools and licences; reduce MPLS/legacy backhaul spend.
  • Risk reduction via consistent, inline controls (SWG, CASB, ZTNA, DLP, FWaaS) and Zero Trust enforcement.
  • Operational efficiency from one platform and console; fewer tickets and faster change.
  • Agility to support hybrid work and new sites faster, with “pay-as-you-grow” consumption.

Exploring SASE: 5 part series

More security tools don't mean better protection. Discover why tool sprawl is costing you time, money, and risk - and how SASE consolidation offers a smarter path forward. This 5-part series reveals how to build your business case and transform security operations.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from our current SD-WAN or MPLS?

SASE unifies security + networking (ZTNA, SWG, CASB, FWaaS, SD-WAN, DEM) under one platform and agent, reducing tool sprawl and policy gaps while improving visibility and user experience.   

Can we reuse what we already have?

Yes, where practical we preserve existing network assets and policies, then phase in cloud-delivered controls to minimise change and downtime.   

What’s the migration path and risk?

Discover → Model ROI → Phased rollout (start with quick wins like VPN→ZTNA) with parallel pilot and change windows aligned to your business.   

What ROI should we expect?

Typical payback is driven by license consolidation, lower network costs, fewer vendors, and productivity gains; we help you baseline your costs and build the case up-front.   

Data residency and latency?

Traffic stays local on Kordia’s best-connected network with direct peering to the on-net NZ based SASE PoP to keep performance consistent for NZ users/apps.  

How do you reduce operational load on my team?

Single policy plane + single agent + NZ-based SOC and our 30+ Fortinet-certified specialists. Choose from managed or co-managed options.

What about the risk of a single platform vs multiple vendor tools?

Kordia Secure Edge is designed to avoid “all-eggs-in-one-basket” risk. We use proven resiliency measures, layered security and strict change controls to ensure continuity. Where needed, we can integrate any additional specific tools you require, so you maintain defense-in-depth while gaining the simplicity of a unified platform.   

Can we start small (e.g., just VPN replacement)?

Absolutely - begin with ZTNA + SWG for remote/hybrid users, then expand to full SASE once the quick-wins are proven.
