Secure Access Service Edge
Top Cisco Secure Access Alternatives and Competitors

Cloudflare is a global network designed to make everything you connect to the Internet secure, private, fast, and reliable. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare have all traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with each new site added. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks.

adam:ONE® is a SASE solution focused on Zero Trust connectivity at each network edge. It is compatible with all types of IP network deployments, on-premise or cloud-centric. The system functions without agents, tunnels, proxies or the need to break encryption and is thus also effective for OT. Some of the core elements are: dynamic machine driven allowlisting; egress control by preventing traffic that did not originate with a permitted DNS query, using Don’t Talk to Strangers (DTTS)® and threat intelligence aggregation (DNSharmony®).

SASE is the future of converged security and networking. From ZTNA, SWG to cloud-delivered NGFW, the Fortinet platform provides complete readiness for embracing SASE. SASE Solution - Cloud Delivered Security for Distributed Networks

Aruba Edge-to-Cloud Security for the Intelligent Edge. Full visibility, control, and enforcement with a built-in foundation for Zero Trust and SASE frameworks.

Netskope One is a cloud-native platform that offers converged security and networking services to enable your Secure Access Services Edge (SASE) and Zero Trust transformation. Using its patented Zero Trust Engine, Intelligent Security Services Edge (SSE) components, and the NewEdge network, Netskope One makes it easy for you to defend your business and protect your valuable data while delivering a phenomenal user experience.

Cato SASE cloud is a global converged cloud-native service that securely and optimally connects all branches, datacenters, people, and clouds. Cato can be gradually deployed to replace or augment legacy network services and security point solutions.

As cyberattacks become more sophisticated and users work from anywhere, the hub-and-spoke networks and perimeter security we once relied on—VPNs and firewalls—fail to provide strong cyber and data protection and deliver poor user experience. Stretching your network like this enables cybercriminals to attack and compromise sensitive data.

Prisma SASE is the secure foundation for agile, cloud-enabled organizations. Prisma SASE converges best-of-breed security with best-of-breed next-gen SD-WAN into the cloud-delivered platform. It consolidates multiple point products, including ZTNA, Cloud SWG, CASB, FWaaS, and SD-WAN, into a single integrated service, reducing network and security complexity while increasing organizational agility. Prisma SASE secures all apps used by your hybrid workforce, regardless of whether users are remote, mobile, or working from a branch office. Our proven cloud-delivered security services leverage ML-powered threat prevention.

VeloCloud SASE (formerly VMware SASE) uses a cloud-first approach with integrated AI and ML to deliver better user experience, tighter security, and operational simplicity. Using the centralized VeloCloud SD-WAN Orchestrator the solution reduces the operational burden of managing branch and remote access connectivity. Customers have the flexibility to deploy security in the cloud or at the edge (branch) to protect all traffic patterns on all ports and protocols. The components of SASE include: VeloCloud SD-WAN, VeloCloud SD Access, and Symantec SSE.

With users everywhere and apps and data in the cloud, work no longer occurs in designated locations. But this means the legacy perimeter is insufficient. To protect anywhere, anytime access to apps and data, you need security that is software-defined and cloud-delivered in order to regain the visibility and controls you once had.
