Getting the full SASE stack of networking and security capabilities from a single vendor can simplify deployment and management, but there are downsides to consider.
Using a managed services provider to deliver SASE can streamline deployment and free up enterprise resources.
Managed SASE can be appealing for enterprises that want a single provider for deployment and management of WAN and security infrastructure, but there can be tradeoffs depending on provider flexibility, platform interoperability, and cost.
SASE certification options are expanding, with Palo Alto joining Cato Networks, Netskope and Versa Networks. Are they worth the effort?
Uncertainty about the length of backlogs for IT hardware means both vendors and enterprises are changing their purchasing strategies.
Reducing threats from enterprise IoT devices requires monitoring tools, software vulnerability testing, and network security measures including network segmentation.
New career-boosting certs are aimed at network automation, observability and programmability
Two arenas and a manufacturing center are deploying private 5G networks for tech gains that include low latency, high reliability, and support for massive numbers of connected devices.
There are five common ways for companies to procure private 5G networks, and service levels can vary dramatically.
It’s still early days for private 5G networks, as a majority of enterprises are waiting for devices to mature, standards to progress, and solid use cases to emerge.
SASE vendors are applying AI and machine learning to the network- and security-related data they collect to sharpen analytics, tighten security and boost performance.
SASE rolls networking and security into a cloud service, making it easier for enterprises to provide simple, secure access to corporate resources. Many vendors offer SASE services, but what they actually provide and how they provide it varies widely.
Buying used gear, extending the life of existing IT equipment, and considering cloud alternatives are among the tactics industry watchers recommend for dealing with the ongoing semiconductor shortage.
Security service edge (SSE) bundles a cloud access security broker, secure web gateway and ZTNA, according to Gartner.
