IBM launches SASE services
IBM has unveiled a set of secure access service edge (SASE) solutions to help customers secure complex distributed work environments.
SASE is a concept first articulated by Gartner in a 2019 white paper. It combines security and SD-WAN in a cloud-based approach designed to embed security directly into the network. This enables companies to apply security policies in the cloud that govern users no matter where they are.
Because the network and security are software-defined, administrators can manage them programmatically, making it easier to update these policies across the organisation.
