The secure access service edge (SASE) model can help an organization in several ways. Cost savings are achieved by consolidating multiple services into a single solution which reduces the need for separate hardware and software investments. Data protection is enhanced through integrated security features that are built into the SASE framework, ensuring that data remains secure as it is accessed from various points. Increased performance is another benefit as SASE optimizes the network performance with secure and efficient routing, reducing latency and improving user experience. Increased licensing requirements and decreased reliance on best practices do not align with the fundamental benefits of SASE.
