According to Gartner, the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) framework is a useful tool to utilise as it provides organisations with continuous risk assessment in a real-time context, which is achieved through delivery via a unified cloud service.

The importance and benefits of combining networking and security into one single model is now obvious to many organisations.

SASE ‘combines network and security-as-a-service functions and delivers them through the cloud via a unified service’.

In a recent Mimecast article they examine how SASE and digital transformation delivers the following key business benefits:

***1. Get cost-effective security***

As SASE combines network and cloud based protections into an integrated cloud-based service, implementing a SASE model eliminates multiple product vendors which in turn reduces the costs associated with licensing, maintenance and management.

***2. Gain a flexible security framework***

SASE simplifies the process for administrators when it comes to implementing and delivering security services, as the provided security is based upon a connected entity and disregards the network edge stretch.

***3. All IT resources are efficiently utilised***

By eliminating the need to use multiple and potentially incompatible products from several vendors, IT professionals are capable of focusing on ‘more mission-critical, business-focused tasks’.

4. ***Provides a Zero-trust approach***

The SASE framework ensures to validate all user and device access which ensures session are well protected both inside and outside corporate networks.

***5. Get effective threat prevention***

The integrated content inspection ensures network visibility is protected against unknown threats.

***6. Provides data protection***

Administrators are able to ensure the right entities access the right data by enforcing data protection policies.

***7. An opportunity for consolidated management***

By consolidating the number of vendors and point products the organisation has, it simplifies the process for management when it comes to monitoring the organisations security posture.

Here's the 5 key components of the SASE framework according to Mimecast:
