Skyhigh Security

Montenegro said Skyhigh Security is among specialist SSE-centric vendors that have significant SASE/SSE offerings.

“I would say one of the key developments in the market over the last year or two has been the bifurcation of SASE and SSE, the latter being a term Gartner came up with in 2021 or 2022, if I remember correctly,” Turner said. “From the outside, it looked like they did so in response to demands from vendors that were getting lumped into the SASE category even though they didn’t have the connectivity bit of the offering, only the security side of things, and presumably wanted Gartner to clarify that via the creation of a second category, or should that be a sub-category, to facilitate conversations with prospective customers. In other words, they didn’t have to start out saying, ‘Well, we’re almost a SASE, but you bring your own connectivity.'”
