Firewalls have been the front line of defense in network and Internet security for over 25 years, with a concept that, from a set of rules or instructions, analyzes network traffic to determine which transmission operations or data reception can be performed. Firewalls play a crucial role in protecting once morest cyberattacks by preventing unauthorized traffic from accessing the network. However, as threats become more sophisticated and networks become more complex, technologies like SASE are being developed that can provide a more comprehensive and flexible approach to network security.
SASE technology arrives on the cybersecurity market with the promise of revolution, it is an innovative technology that can redefine the way organizations approach security and network connectivity in the cloud. This approach combines security and network access services into a single architecture, creating a more flexible and secure environment for companies.
The technological advancement that the world finds itself in, together with the growing trend of companies migrating their systems to cloud solutions, in the constantly evolving digital scenario, where network security is a primary concern for companies around the world, innovative solutions emerge that revolutionize the way we approach data protection, and an innovation that has arrived on the market and that introduces additional complexity in relation to Information Security is SASE technology.
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), is a comprehensive approach that combines networking and security in a single solution, says Dario Caraponale, CEO of Strong Security Brasil, a reference company in the field of managed services in Information Security. One of the most distinctive features of SASE is the integration of connectivity and security features. By combining technologies such as SD-WAN (Software Defined Networking) and cloud security services, SASE enables organizations to provide secure network access from any location while enforcing consistent security policies across the entire enterprise. infrastructure. With new working modalities, such as working from home, some additional challenges arise. After the pandemic, the number of people working remotely skyrocketed, leading the world to readjust the work environment. Social isolation has led many organizations, when feasible, to adapt their employees to the home office model.

Social isolation has led many organizations, when feasible, to adapt their employees to the home office model.
With the domination of the home office, organizations needed to adapt their technological infrastructures to cloud environments, which made security measures significantly more difficult, “In a limited network environment it is much easier to ensure that security policies are followed ”, says Dario. Furthermore, the risks of cyberattacks have grown as fast as the pandemic itself, a study by Check Point Research (CPR) indicated a 38% increase in global cyber attacks in 2022 compared to 2021. The most affected sector was education, recording a 43% increase in 2022 with an average of 2,314 attacks per organization every week.
Can SASE technology be useful and truly innovative?
SASE is an evolution in the way of managing network security and traffic. Previously, companies used a technique where all branch traffic was directed to a central location (data center) to be verified. This was done through private MPLS connections and a Firewall. With SASE, this security verification and management is done directly in the cloud. As a result, security rules that were previously controlled by the Firewall are now managed remotely and centrally in the cloud. Making it easier to monitor traffic and increase security as all rules and checks are in one place.
The future of Information Security monitoring with SASE
As cyber threats multiply in complexity, embracing innovative solutions like Secure Access Service Edge is essential to protecting an organization’s digital assets.
An example of this is the recent partnership between Strong Security Brasila company that according to CIO Review is among the 10 most promising managed services companies in Information Security in Latin America and Cato Networks, the company that provides Cato SASE Cloud technology.
