work-from-home mandates have introduced new network edge and security problems to businesses, lots of whom already had their hands full in these areas. Disparate point solutions, staff challenges and separate management consuls may have made integration difficult for many, according to John Maddison (pictured), chief marketing officer and executive vice president of products at Fortinet.
Fortinet just acquired difference between computer science and computer engineering Networks Inc. — a SASE cloud platform — and is integrating it with its existing portfolio to create the “most complete SASE framework in the marketplace,” Maddison said. “More and more, I’m finding customers wanting to converge — which is the basis of [Secure Access Service Edge].”
SASE has been enjoying a bit of industry hype lately due to its edge-security potential. It is basically an approach to security-driven networking that securely connects all edges, like software-defined wide-area network, cloud, mobile, internet of things, etc. It is an important step forward in establishing an identity-driven platform that provides a seamless experience for end users, Maddison pointed out.
