If you’re looking for a high-performance SD-WAN service that comes with the broadest choice of security solutions from the most trusted name brands in security, look no further than Masergy’s SASE offering.
A new category of solutions called Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is converging SD-WAN and a swath of security tools into one cloud service from one provider, and Masergy’s latest news announcement reveals the service enhancements that are positioning our company to compete in this emerging market. Here’s a quick look at Masergy’s approach to SASE, the updates we have made, and how we’re leaning into the five core capabilities of SASE, which include:
Before we dig in, it’s important to note a bit of history. Convergence is a concept that is all too familiar to Masergy. For years, we have worked to ensure security is intrinsic to our network services. As a firm believer in the notion that one strategy, one solution, and one dashboard should address both IT domains, we’ve been embedding security tools into our network and cloud platform all along. This has given us a running start at the SASE model. With some back-end tweaks, we’ve already solidified our SASE offering. Here’s what we have done and where we’re going next.
What’s New: Masergy’s Cloud Firewalls, powered by Fortinet, are expanding to every point of presence (POP) within Masergy’s software-defined network. We’ve integrated Fortinet’s FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls at all locations to enable clients with fully managed firewall services all across the globe.
