According to a recent Forrester Consulting research report commissioned by IBM, 78% of security decision-makers plan to implement or are unsure how to implement Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) in the next 12 months. A SASE solution can make a lot of sense for digitally driven organizations where remote employees and partners need faster application access, be that from on-premises based networks or the cloud, using a myriad of devices to connect. SASE is a relatively new framework that is changing the game in terms of bringing networking and network security into a single, cloud-based service model.
Even so, business and security leaders who are evaluating or implementing an end-to-end SASE solution for their enterprises have discovered how challenging it is to adopt and implement a solution on their own. A partnership approach is essential to ensure best practices. More specifically, organizations are choosing to collaborate with a managed security service provider (MSSP) to help design, deploy and manage SASE on an ongoing basis. In turn, a MSSP integrates with a zero trust-based SASE platform and proactively monitors the security of connecting users, devices and applications over any network for optimal perimeterless network protection.
Combining the capabilities of a global leader in MSS, like IBM Security, and a global leader in SASE, such as Zscaler, you benefit from the expertise, aligned processes and best-in-class technology for a modernized zero trust networking architecture. Overall, it provides the organization with these next few hidden advantages.
