SASE vs. SD-WAN: What's The Difference?
SearchNetworking, Tuesday, April 2nd, 2024
SASE and SD-WAN are two similar architectures administrators use to provide secure network access, but they differ in terms of deployment, security, connectivity and more.
As remote worker needs evolve over time and across distributed locations, one fact is certain: Traditional technologies don't cut it anymore.
This fact helped drive the evolution of WAN into software-defined WAN (SD-WAN). While SD-WAN offered answers to many issues that traditional WAN connectivity had with traffic management for distributed locations, it has its own limitations around complexity, security and connectivity beyond the WAN.
