What’s Driving Adoption of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)?
As organizations adopt digital transformation security is moving to the cloud. This creates a need for
converged services to reduce complexity, improve speed and agility, enable multi-cloud networking, and
secure the new SD-WAN-enabled architecture.
What is the Service Edge?
The Service Edge is the area closest to the data endpoints, either branch locations,
data centers, cloud, remote users etc.
What is Zero Trust?
Zero trust is a strategic initiative to help prevent data breaches. The main principal in zero trust is
“never trust, always verify”. Zero trust identifies protect surfaces which are made up of the critical data,
assets, applications, and services. Policies are then defined to identify who, what, where, when and how
devices are permitted to access the critical protect surfaces.
Benefits to the Enterprise
The Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) model consolidates numerous networking and security functions–traditionally delivered in siloed point solutions–in a single, integrated cloud service.
The benefits of a SASE model are unlocked by working with a partner who can bring together best-in-class networking, security, and observability—while offering the flexibility and investment protection to transition to the cloud at your pace. Pomeroy partners with Cisco to provide and implement all the building blocks of a SASE architecture today as part of a single offering.
- Reduce costs & complexity
- Provide centralized orchestration & real-time application optimization
- Help secure seamless access for users
- Enable more secure remote & mobile access
- Restrict access based on user, device & application identity
- Improve security by applying consistent policy
- Increase network & security staff effectiveness with centralized management

What Is Secure Access Service Edge?
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is an architectural approach that offers an alternative to traditional data center-oriented security. SASE converges networking capabilities with cloud-native security functions to simplify deployment and streamline management in the cloud to deliver seamless, secure access to applications anywhere your users work.
Why Is That Important? A rise in remote employees and increased reliance on SaaS applications creates new, wider gaps in security. As a result, it’s a bigger challenge to protect users at the edge — ensuring seamless connections that optimize productivity without creating performance issues that drag down user satisfaction.
The SASE Journey in 5 Steps
The SASE Journey is an emerging architecture that delivers a seamless, secure connection to applications in any environment from anywhere while streamlining networking and security functions for IT.
1. Uplevel your WAN with a cloud-scale architecture. SASE is about securely connecting any user to any application anywhere. It allows you to deliver secure, seamless connections with integrated multi-cloud access, simplified management, and actionable insights for IT—all while providing users the digital experience they expect anytime, anywhere.

2. Streamline security in the cloud. Start at the DNS layer, or build on what you already have by adding more functionality with an open security platform and pain-free integrations. Combine multiple security functions into one simple to use, cloud-native service with security that’s built-in, not bolted on.
3. Simplify secure network access with Zero Trust. Maintain identity controls across branch and remote workers with a simplified approach to Zero Trust. Ensure only trusted users can access applications by enabling policy-based controls for every access attempt to your applications, wherever those applications are hosted.
4. Choose platform simplicity over piecemeal. SASE isn’t a product, it’s an architecture. As such, Gartner recommends leveraging a single partner for both networking and security on your SASE journey. Remove complexity, increase performance and lower costs with a partner who offers a platform approach, with the breadth and depth of knowledge to solve challenges across any environment – Pomeroy & Cisco.
5. Realize SASE your way. Moving to SASE is about accelerating your journey to the cloud. That journey looks different for everyone and you need the flexibility to get there your way. Choose a provider who can meet you where you are today and has you covered for what’s now and what’s next.
