3. S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Garrett Bekker
In Channel Futures first annual “CF List” focused on top SASE providers, analysts share their views on what it takes to succeed with the technology. It includes a new list and fresh views on changes in the competitive landscape.
Garrett Bekker, a senior research analyst with S&P Global Market Intelligence’s 451 Research, made waves for outlining how vendors integrate the various pieces of SASE.
“To me, the five core features of a SASE are firewall-as-a-service/NGFW, SD-WAN, secure web gateway (SWG), zero trust network access (ZTNA) and cloud access security broker (CASB),” he said. “There are other ancillary features of SASE also, such as data loss prevention (DLP), encryption or remote browser isolation (RBI). Few vendors actually have all the pieces. So one criterion for success is completeness of solution, and how tightly integrated the various pieces are. Or are they just cobbled together?”
