SASE Goes Global
Dave Greenfield, director of technology evangelism for Cato Networks, said demand will move from point-solution vendors to providers whose platforms stretch across the globe.
“SASE promises agility, simplicity and speed as a means of enabling the infrastructure to power digital transformation. But those benefits cannot be realized by simply slapping a SASE tag on an aging firewall or SD-WAN appliance. True SASE is a cloud service built on a global, cloud-native platform. In 2022, we’ll see the market consolidate around vendors that built or are focused on building platforms that deliver on the true SASE promise,” Greenfield said.
