The rise of remote working poses new security threats to businesses. Never before have businesses had to be so reliant on connectivity and collaboration tools. By adopting a Zero Trust approach, businesses can remove the added risk remote working brings by better controlling who has access to their business-critical information.
This includes restricting or authorising access based on user, device or application, ringfencing data specific employees don’t need access to, and ultimately, protecting their employees from unknowingly putting their network at risk.
In its August 2019 report, The Future of Network Security is in the Cloud, Gartner defined the secure access service edge (SASE) concept as “an emerging offering combining comprehensive wide area network capabilities with comprehensive network security functions such as secure web gateway, cloud access security broker, firewall as a service and zero trust network access to support the dynamic secure access needs of digital enterprises.” It comprises:
|
|
Software Defined Networking (SD-WAN) |
|
Domain Name System Layer Security (DNS) |
|
|
Secure Web Gateway (SWG) |
|
Firewall-as-a-Service (FaaS) |
|
|
Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) |
|
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) |
|
|
Identity Management |

Although this may seem daunting, Kordia’s approach to SASE is to build on our existing SD-WAN, Protect and Security Consulting capabilities and deliver SASE in an incremental approach that means you can address those pressing networking and security needs first and then implement the additional services as and when required.
