Secure access service edge, or SASE – pronounced “sassy”, this emerging network security concept, first described four years ago by Gartner, has huge benefits for organisations, provided it’s done right.<br /> To discuss what SASE is and how South African organisations can take advantage of it, TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod is joined on the TCS+ technology show by leading experts on the topic from Dimension Data and Palo Alto Networks.<br /> Dimension Data’s Padma Naidoo, head of the company’s security practice, is joined by her colleague, Laudec McCarthy, a senior security solutions architect at Dimension Data in the Middle East Africa, as well as Ross Templeton, a system engineering manager at Palo Alto Networks in sub-Saharan Africa.<br /> The three experts tackle a range of topics around SASE, including:<br /> • The relationship between Dimension Data (soon to be NTT Data) and Palo Alto Networks.<br /> • What SASE is exactly, and why organisations should be taking it seriously.<br /> • The concept of zero-trust security and the role it plays in the SASE model.<br /> • What is involved in deploying SASE technology – what companies should expect on the journey.<br /> • The complexities and challenges involved in a SASE deployment.<br /> • Dimension Data’s solutions in the SASE space.<br /> • Palo Alto’s Prisma solution – what it is and how companies can use it.<br /> • How companies should go about evaluating the SASE options available to them.
