In 2019, Gartner published a report called “The Future of Network Security is in the Cloud”. In this report, Gartner introduced the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) concept. The SASE concept includes an even wider set of security functionality than a SIG, and it includes the convergence of networking functionality as well. A SASE solution can secure the cloud, data center, and branch network edges and deliver a secure SD-WAN fabric across disparate connections.
