Organizations that have invested in Secure SD-WAN at the branch must now extend that optimized experience and consistent security posture to work-from-anywhere (WFA) users. The traditional VPN-based approach relies on implicit trust, introducing significant security risks like lateral movement and increased attack surface exposure, which can only be mitigated by adopting Unified SASE.
Download this point of view to learn why Unified SASE is necessary alongside Secure SD-WAN:
- Why Unified SASE is the essential evolution, solving the inherent security risk of traditional VPNs that rely on implicit trust
- The three critical components of a robust SASE solution: a single management console, a single user agent, and a single data lake for comprehensive security visibility
- How an SSE solution, like Fortinet FortiSASE, extends native SD-WAN capabilities to the cloud to ensure remote users receive optimized application performance on the shortest, most secure path
- The ease of integrating Security Service Edge (SSE) to SD-WAN in minutes to provide a seamless and secure experience across the entire distributed and hybrid workforce
