SASE: The Future of Network Security for Businesses

With the rise of the hybrid workforce, businesses are faced with the challenge of securing employees who access networks and applications both on-site and remotely. This mobile way of working significantly increases the attack surface and creates security gaps that can no longer be covered by traditional security approaches. In addition, the use of unauthorised applications, known as shadow IT, is increasing, making it more difficult to maintain control and visibility over all data traffic.

What is SASE?

SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is a network architecture consisting of ZTNA and SD-WAN capabilities combined with cloud security functions, such as secure web gateways and firewalls. These functions are delivered via the cloud and offered as a managed service. A Zero Trust approach is essential for modern network security and a central component of the SASE architecture. Unlike conventional security models, which grant implicit trust within the network, Zero Trust verifies every connection and every device before access is granted. This minimises the risk of security breaches and ensures that only authorised users and devices gain access to sensitive data and applications. Let us advise you on your individual situation.

SD-WAN

In contrast to conventional wide area networks, which are mostly based solely on MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching technology), SD-WAN (Software Defined Wide Area Network) provides optimal support for digital transformation in terms of security, availability and performance.

ZTNA

With ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access), it is ensured that users and end devices, which must authenticate themselves before each application session, comply with company policies for application access. The ZTNA component enables the integration of both office-based and remote workplaces. ZTNA functions are automatically activated on devices or services, such as hardware appliances, virtual machines or cloud services.

PROXY

The ZTNA Access Proxy is part of our ZTNA solution and is used to establish secure connections between users and company resources, regardless of their location. It verifies access based on identity, context and policies before granting access, thereby minimising security risks. This enables granular control and increases security compared to traditional VPN solutions.

What is SASE 2.0?

With SASE 2.0, we are expanding the SASE Managed Service to include the byon Modern Workplace offering as well as security operations (Sec-Ops).

Well-prepared for the workplace of tomorrow

Modern Workplace
Microsoft 365, UCC, cloud-only strategy
SASE
Secure Access Service Edge = SD-WAN + ZTNA + Proxy
SecOps
AI-powered detection, analysis and defence against security threats for your platforms and endpoints

Modern Workplace

With the Modern Workplace, all systems that were previously hosted entirely or partly on your company’s premises are migrated to the cloud. These are predominantly Microsoft cloud services. In accordance with the GDPR, data is encrypted and stored redundantly within the Microsoft environment in German data centres.

SecOps

Security Operations (SecOps) refers to an organisation’s strategy for improving its overall cyber resilience by integrating security measures and processes into IT operations. This approach requires security and operations teams to work together across functions within a SecOps team to resolve security incidents more quickly.

FAQ on byon Unified SASE

How does SASE differ from traditional VPN solutions?

Unlike traditional VPNs, which often provide broad network connectivity and thus increase the attack surface, SASE offers targeted and secure access based on the user’s identity and context.

What security services are included in the SASE architecture?

SASE combines professional SD-WAN solutions with cloud-native security services (SSE) in a way that offers both flexibility and a high level of security.

The use of SD-WAN enables the efficient utilisation of the full network bandwidth and optimises data traffic for applications.
SSE (Secure Service Edge) umfasst Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), Secure Web Gateway (SWG) und Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB).
Zero Trust security is a key component of our SASE architecture. Unlike traditional security approaches, which are based on the assumption that everything within the network is trustworthy, Zero Trust involves verifying every device and every connection before access is granted. This significantly minimises security risks and provides robust protection against threats.
Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS) offers comprehensive protection against network attacks and enables detailed monitoring of data traffic.
Secure Web Gateway (SWG) protects users from online threats and prevents access to malicious websites.
Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) secures access to cloud applications and protects sensitive data by monitoring and controlling the use of cloud services.

What use cases is Secure Access Service Edge suitable for?

Our Secure Access Service Edge solutions are suitable for a wide range of use cases:

Network modernisation: Replaces outdated network architectures with modern, scalable solutions.
SaaS security: Protects access to SaaS applications and provides visibility and control over shadow IT.
VPN replacement: Modernises remote access and replaces traditional VPNs with Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA).
Consolidation of network and security products: Reduces complexity and overhead by integrating multiple products into a unified SASE solution.

By implementing SASE (Secure Access Service Edge), organisations can significantly improve the security of their networks whilst enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, IT teams can resolve issues more quickly and efficiently.

Can the SASE solution replace existing security infrastructures?

Yes, the SASE platform can replace or complement existing security infrastructures whilst offering consistent protection and simplified management. Integrating SD-WAN and cloud-based security services (Zero Trust, FWaaS, SWG, and CASB) into a single platform reduces the need for multiple standalone solutions.

This enables centralised management and control, which simplifies the monitoring and management of overall network security. Furthermore, SASE architectures offer a high degree of adaptability and versatility, enabling a rapid response to changing business requirements and threats. The zero-trust security model and cloud infrastructures ensure that every request is verified, regardless of the location of the user or device, providing more robust protection against threats.

Through optimised traffic management and the use of multiple transport paths, a SASE model improves network performance. Furthermore, the consolidation of network and security services significantly reduces the overall costs of hardware, software and administration. Advanced threat detection and defence, powered by AI-driven threat intelligence and machine learning, provide comprehensive protection against both known and unknown threats.

Finally, SASE platforms can be seamlessly integrated into existing network security infrastructures, which simplifies migration and protects existing investments.
