SASE
Unifying Networking & Security At the Edge
The Future of Secure Access
Your enterprise is distributing β users, devices, apps, and data are everywhere. Yet your network and security remain siloed. You face:
- Fragmented architectures (separate WAN & security stacks)
- Hairpinning traffic via data centers (causing latency, bottlenecks)
- Inconsistent security enforcement across locations, cloud, remote
- Complexity in managing multiple tools & policies
- Scaling challenges as users and apps grow
- Performance vs security tradeoffs
If you keep patching point solutions, youβll never get the agility, consistency, or simplicity needed for a cloud-first, distributed workforce.
Modern Hybrid-Workforce Challenges
Disjointed Network & Security Stacks
Your WAN, firewall, gateway, ZTNA, CASB, etc. are all separate, leading to inefficiencies, configuration drift, and gaps.
Traffic Backhaul & Latency Waste
Remote or branch traffic often gets forced through a central data center just to apply security β introducing latency and congestion.
Policy Fragmentation & Inconsistency
When policies are defined in multiple systems (firewall, gateway, VPN, CASB), discrepancies emerge.
Scaling Complexity & Tool Sprawl
As your network grows β more users, more sites, more cloud β the number of devices, policies, and complexity increases dramatically.
Performance Slowdown Due to Security Processing
Applying deep inspection, threat scanning, encryption, etc., can degrade performance or increase latency.
Managing Users, Devices & Apps in Heterogeneous Environments
Users access from all over (on-prem, cloud, mobile) using varied devices and apps. Rules get inconsistent or stale.
Subnetik Solutions
Disjointed Network & Security Stacks
Build a converged architecture where networking and security services (SD-WAN, firewall as a service, SWG, CASB, ZTNA) live in one fabric under a single control plane.
You eliminate silos, reduce tool count, and simplify operations.
Traffic Backhaul & Latency Waste
Leverage globally distributed security PoPs and local breakouts so access to cloud / SaaS doesnβt detour through HQ.
Faster, more efficient connectivity β reduced delay for critical services.
Policy Fragmentation & Inconsistency
Define policies once, centrally, and enforce them uniformly across all enforcement points (edge, cloud, branch).
Consistency, simplified auditing, fewer gaps or misconfigurations.
Scaling Complexity & Tool Sprawl
Use a modular, cloud-native SASE design with distributed enforcement and orchestration, so scaling is linear, not exponential.
You can grow without exploding your operational load.
Performance Slowdown Due to Security Processing
Intelligent traffic steering, selective / context-based inspection, prioritization (QoS), and optimization built into the SASE fabric.
Users get secure access and good performance β not one at the expense of the other.
Managing Users, Devices & Apps in Heterogeneous Environments
Identity- and context-driven access control: using user identity, device posture, location, app context, and behavior, enforced across the SASE fabric.
Access is smart, adaptive, and consistent β no matter where or how someone connects.
Why This Secure Access Approach Works
- Unified Networking + Security β One converged fabric combining SD-WAN, firewall, ZTNA, CASB, SWG.
- Optimized Performance β Local breakouts, intelligent pathing, QoS ensure speed even under load.
- Global Policy Consistency β A central policy engine ensures uniform enforcement across all edges.
- Scalable & Cloud-Native β Elastic, modular design that scales up or down as needed.
- Contextual, Identity-Driven Access β Policies that adapt based on identity, posture, risk, and behavior.
- Reduced Complexity & Lower TCO β Fewer appliances, less overhead, simpler operations.
SASE isnβt just a concept β it merges WAN and security into a single, agile architecture that meets the demands of modern, cloud-centric business.
