Great agnostic view on SD-WAN, SASE, and how network plays into those solutions.

Network as a Service (NaaS) is quickly becoming a game-changer for Providers and Enterprise organizations, offering the flexibility to scale network resources as needed and adapt to evolving business demands. NaaS is drawing significant attention for its cost-efficiency, enhanced network performance, and automation—combining reliable networking and security solutions with essential self-management capabilities. While these benefits are widely recognized, many CIOs value NaaS for the advanced networking and security expertise that it incorporates. This perspective is backed by EMA's recent July 2024 report, “Network as a Service: Understanding the Cloud Consumption Model in Networking” (https://lnkd.in/dfVpyKNn). By offloading complex network management and security tasks and designs to NaaS providers, organizations can alleviate the strain on their IT teams, freeing them to focus on strategic initiatives and innovation. Moreover, NaaS can bridge the critical skills gap in network security, cloud networking, and automation, ensuring that businesses stay ahead of evolving threats and technological advancements. Amartus is at the forefront of NaaS and network automation innovation. We are also experts in open standards APIs and processes (MEF Forum and TM Forum), which are the foundation for delivering true NaaS Experience for enterprise customers. We help design and deliver complex NaaS solutions, and our nBrace B2B2X Network Automation solution is being used in production today by global Tier 1-3 providers for negotiating, ordering, and operating enterprise network services which span multiple provider networks and infrastructure.

As businesses increasingly migrate to the cloud and adopt cloud-native technologies, the complexity and attack surface of their digital environments have expanded dramatically. Recognising the critical need to secure these environments, organisations are turning to Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solutions to address emerging challenges. CSPM tools are rising in demand and are becoming increasingly crucial for organisations to maintain robust security postures as they need to deal with the complexities of multi-cloud and cloud-native technology management and meet stringent regulatory requirements, which is set to remain the driving force behind CSPM adoption. Find out more about Frost & Sullivan Growth Expert Anh Tien Vu's assessment of the global CSPM market, which is projected to experience significant growth - more than tripling in size by 2028 with expected revenues of $5.58 billion - here: https://hubs.la/Q02LZBbw0 #CSPM #CloudSecurity

The surge in multicloud Network As a Service (NaaS) spending is being driven by the enterprise need for a unified management model for their network and security. This complexity arises from the sprawl of data across private and public clouds. Multicloud NaaS solutions that provide robust automation capabilities will be well-positioned to capture market share. #MultiCloud #FinOps @Heeddata #NaaS #CloudCosts
