As organizations adopt cloud services, use more remote or hybrid work, and support employees on mobile or unmanaged devices, traditional perimeter-based security breaks down. SASE helps solve this by pushing security, access, and network policies to the edge. It improves performance by reducing backhauling of traffic (sending all data via central data centers), which cuts latency and improves user experience especially for cloud apps. Simplification: consolidates many point products into a more coherent stack, enabling uniform policies, identity-driven access, and often lower overhead in management and costs.
