With the widespread adoption of mobile networks and cloud computing, enterprise digital transformation is accelerating. The core business and critical data of enterprises are being transferred from traditional data centers to the cloud. At the same time, the operation mode and work styles of enterprises are being changed significantly, with the popularization of multi-point office and remote/mobile office.
Traditional network security architecture is no longer suitable for the trend of business digitization and cloudization. For example, traditional security strategies are primarily based on boundary protection, which sets up security devices at the network boundary of the enterprise to protect its network and data. However business digitization and cloudization have blurred traditional network boundaries, and stacking multiple security technologies may increase the complexity of enterprise security systems, leading to operational difficulties and decreased efficiency.
In the process of business digital transformation, enterprises need to flexibly configure their network and security services to cater to various network access scenarios, and provide security that meets experience and policy requirements. In 2019, Gartner introduced SASE(Secure Access Service Edge) in their report "Hype Cycle for Enterprise Networking 2019", which they believed was the solution to this problem.
