How SASE can future-proof your business

Written by Admin | Nov 16, 2021 6:48:00 AM

Your current IT network wasn’t created for remote workers.

We understand it’s tough right now for IT teams. The global pandemic has changed the way we work and the increase in remote users is creating security gaps and network failures. It’s challenging trying to protect users and keep high productivity levels. There are a growing number of security risks threatening businesses, including malware infections, phishing attacks, unauthorised access and unacceptable use.

Good news! SASE is the way forward

SASE (pronounced ‘sassy’) stands for Secure Access Service Edge and it’s a great way to future proof your business. It basically combines networking and security functions in the cloud so you can deliver seamless, fast secure access for anyone, anywhere. It’s a whole new approach, where your IT architecture is streamlined…removing complexities and blockages. It’s forward thinking technology which is much better suited to today’s world where businesses need to be more agile.

In a nutshell…SASE:

  • Consolidates your services, making everything much simpler
  • Improves your security – you can control and protect all users, everywhere
  • Gives you scalability – it can evolve to meet your changing needs
  • Moves access control closer to where it’s needed — the user and the cloud edge
  • Delivers seamless, secure internet and cloud access anytime, anywhere. It’s much more reliable than conventional network set-ups

Your SASE, your way

Moving to SASE means moving your business to the cloud. From our experience we know that transition is unique for all organisations, it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. Our Solution Architects at Truis are here to help you understand exactly what SASE is and then create the right journey for your business. Don’t worry, we know you need flexibility along the way! We can work out the best way to maximise the benefits. There are a number of different providers and we have all the world’s leading networking and security solutions under one roof.

A great option for SASE is from Cisco

Cisco is really driving the revolution of secure access everywhere. Their product – Cisco Umbrella is a foundational element of the Cisco SASE architecture. It enables businesses of all sizes to embrace secure direct internet access and extend protection for roaming users and branch offices. You’ll reduce risk exposure with Cisco Umbrella as it blocks requests to malicious and unwanted destinations before a connection is even established, stopping threats before they reach you. It really cuts our complexities and helps you boost performance. Here’s a brief overview…don’t worry if it doesn’t make any sense, we can explain it all to you.

As part of the Truis and Cisco relationship we are able to offer our clients a free trial of some SASE Components, including items from the core product set like Meraki MX, Cisco Umbrella SIG, and Duo (2FA). Contact our Solution Architects for more information and to discuss your business’ needs.
