What is Prisma SASE?
Secure access service edge is an emerging cybersecurity concept that combines WAN, and network security services like CASB, FWaaS, and Zero Trust, into a single, cloud-delivered service model.
With the SASE security model, organizations can reap the benefits of cloud-based infrastructure to secure their networks. Not only does this flexible and cost-efficient solution reduce complexity with a single platform for threat prevention, web filtering, and firewall policies but it also enables IT teams to streamline operations by eliminating multiple point products that need managing, updating, and maintaining.
Organizations can boost their performance and security with a SASE model. The cloud infrastructure enables users to access resources from practically anywhere. Organizations can eliminate trust assumptions and ensure complete security sessions with a Zero Trust approach to the cloud. A SASE solution incorporates full content inspection, offering robust threat prevention while implementing data protection policies for maximum safety. This framework helps protect against unwelcome access or misuse of confidential information.
