The rise of hybrid working has significantly expanded the attack surface, with endpoints, cloud-native applications and on-site devices all requiring robust safeguards. Organizations that still rely on siloed security tools are in a precarious position, as the visibility gaps between disparate solutions can hinder the ability to apply effective data governance and security policies at the granular level now required. This lack of unified visibility and control not only hampers the efficiency of attack detection but also slows incident response times when vulnerabilities emerge. This is where deploying solutions in a single stack network and security solution provides a streamlined approach. Many organizations, for example, rely solely on Software Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN). This produces security risks when deployed without a supporting cloud security architecture, like Secure Service Edge (SSE), bringing both together under the Secure Access Services Edge (SASE) framework and more specifically a single vendor SASE can deliver operational gains.
