Zero Trust and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) are powerful frameworks designed to combat modern threats.
While each offers unique advantages, combining them can improve your network’s defense and boost your overall security posture. Here’s how.
Zero trust assumes that no user or device—whether inside or outside the network—should automatically be trusted.
Every user, device, and application undergoes continuous authentication, authorization, and monitoring based on strict security policies before they can access resources. In short, the principle of zero trust is: “Never trust, always verify.”
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a holistic security framework that combines a range of security tools and services—including Zero Trust principles—into a single, cloud-based solution. This approach makes it easier for organizations to secure their networks across different locations and remote environments.
Some of the key SASE components include:
Zero trust and SASE both help strengthen your security posture, but they approach it from different angles.
While SASE provides a framework for centralized policy management across multiple security services, zero trust focuses specifically on access controls. When integrated, however, they offer several advantages.
Here are the benefits of integrating zero trust and SASE.
Despite the benefits, implementing SASE and zero trust together can present some challenges:
Here are the three most important best practices for implementing SASE and Zero Trust.
As remote work grows, compliance regulations become stricter, and organizations seek cost-effective solutions, it’s likely we’ll see increased adoption of zero trust and SASE in the years to come.
