How would you describe your interest in security?
Why are we asking about SASE security?
SASE security (Secure Access Service Edge) is either a) typically built into vendor solutions b) integrated via a 3rd party specialist or c) may not be a current requirement for VPN only deployments. If your business requirements consist of local Internet breakout across sites and remote users, SASE is a necessity. (Blame Gartner)
