Single-vendor SASE will bring data security to every user , app and device
Manny Rivelo , Chief Executive Officer , Forcepoint , explains why security leaders will continue to look to Secure Access Service Edge , or SASE , the convergence of cloud-delivered networking and security . here ’ s probably a
T universe out there where everyone ’ s using just one Zero Trust security solution . But not on this Earth , not yet at least . The trouble is that security is trapped in a vicious hamster wheel . A breach is discovered , a fix is developed , the cycle repeats itself . We need to radically change how we manage access and controls to achieve better outcomes .
We have no choice . The sheer cost of managing solutions compounded by quiet quitters and mass resignations are driving resource-strapped teams to seek new architectures . The perimeter has morphed into a new edge , which is everywhere we use and create business data .
That ’ s why security leaders will continue to look to what Gartner calls Secure Access Service Edge , or SASE , the convergence of cloud-delivered networking and security . We will see organisations continue to consolidate vendors and demand platforms with prebuilt integrations .
Data is the foundation of ‘ digital native ’ enterprises
Against this backdrop , data will hold even greater value and competitive advantage . The drive for Big Data analytics , supply chain efficiencies , worker mobility and adoption of cloud services will push Digital Transformation to loftier heights . Digital-native organisations will view data as a precious commodity , like gold ingots and oil preserves of yesteryear .
But if left unknown , unanalysed and floating around multiple clouds , data centres and devices , data can be a source of business risk and liability . Savvy cybercriminals and nation-states know that remote workers are constantly shifting between devices , locations and apps . The expanding attack surface makes it nearly impossible for CXOs to prevent sophisticated actors from using automation , scale and customisation in their tactics to break into your hybrid IT infrastructure and steal your digital gold .
SASE must be data-first
Experts agree that a SASE framework converging security and networking

capabilities can more than even the odds for defenders . The demand for simplicity is driving adoption , with eight out of 10 organisations expected to deploy a consolidated SSE platform , the security half of SASE . SSE integrates web access through SWG , cloud access through CASB and access to private apps via ZTNA , all managed as one . Though vital and substantial , convergence and a single-vendor approach still aren ’ t enough . What ’ s needed at the centre of SASE is data security .
That ’ s because your data can leave in so many ways , especially through uploads and downloads to websites , cloud apps and corporate ( private ) apps and personal devices ( USB , printers , Bluetooth , etc .). The promise of SASE and SSE is that everything works together to simplify how you implement Zero Trust for all of your users and business data . www . intelligentciso . com
