MY TAKE: How SASE has begun disrupting IT — by shifting cybersecurity to the ‘services edge’

The Last Watchdog

SASE (pronounced sassy) essentially is a roadmap for infusing privacy and security deeply into the software coding that gives life to our smartphones, IoT devices and cloud infrastructure, i.e. at the “services edge,” where all the action is taking place. Security got bolted on by installing firewalls at web gateways.
