Research Report: Assessing SASE Progress and Best Practices

SD-WAN and security technologies have been converging via SASE to simplify the infrastructure stack and deliver better experiences and protection for users. However, questions remain as to how quickly organizations are acting to tightly couple both networking and security tools and teams. Network and security organizations have different objectives, KPIs, workflows, and vendor preferences. Taken together, this means that while convergence has an appealing value proposition, it can be difficult to implement in practice. Networking and security leaders need to understand where their forward-thinking peer organizations are in this process to plan accordingly and, ultimately, solve the key business challenges they face.
