Simplify, Secure & Scale Your Network—All in One Go

Secure Access Service Edge ( SASE )

Traditional network security just isn’t cutting it anymore. Businesses are moving to the cloud, employees are logging in from anywhere and everywhere, and cyber threats? They’re getting smarter by the second. If your IT team is constantly patching up vulnerabilities, managing multiple security tools, and dealing with slow network speeds, it’s time for a change.

How Does SASE Work?

It combines networking and security into one single system that runs in the cloud. It connects users to applications in a safe and fast way, no matter where they are or what device they are using. SASE gives you one cloud-based network that connects and protects all your company’s data, apps, and devices. It does not matter if they are in an office, on the cloud or being used remotely. Everything is managed and secured from one place.

SASE uses the user’s identity to decide who can access what. It checks not just who the user is but also looks at their device, the type of data or app they want to use and what they are trying to do with it.

These checks help create smart access rules based on risk. The same rule follows the user whether they are in the office, working from home or traveling. This way, security stays strong and consistent no matter where the user is.

SASE is built to run in the cloud. It is flexible, can fix itself when problems happen and takes care of updates on its own. Since it is delivered as a cloud service, SASE can quickly adjust to your business needs. It gives you full network and security features everywhere without needing any extra hardware.

SASE protects your network at every point. It works for your main office, cloud data centers, remote branches and even for just one user or device. Everyone gets the same level of security and performance, no matter where they are or how they connect.

SASE is set up on a global cloud system. This means it can provide fast and reliable security and networking to all your users and locations around the world. No matter where your teams are, they will get low-latency access and strong protection.

Key Component Of SASE

SD-WAN is used to manage and route traffic across different types of connections like MPLS, broadband, and LTE. It automatically chooses the best path for each application, improving performance and reducing costs. With SASE, SD-WAN is fully integrated with security services for end-to-end protection.
A Secure Web Gateway blocks unsafe websites and stops users from downloading harmful content. It filters web traffic in real time and enforces security policies across all devices, whether users are on the network or working remotely.
FWaaS provides next-generation firewall capabilities from the cloud. It includes features like intrusion prevention, advanced threat protection, and URL filtering. FWaaS allows you to apply consistent firewall policies to all users and devices across every location without maintaining physical firewall hardware.
ZTNA allows users to connect to applications only after they are verified. Access is based on identity, device health, location, and behavior. Unlike VPNs, ZTNA gives users access only to the apps they are allowed to use, reducing the risk of lateral movement and insider threats.
CASB monitors and secures the use of cloud services. It provides visibility into SaaS usage, detects shadow IT, and enforces policies for data protection, threat prevention, and compliance. CASB helps ensure safe and compliant use of public cloud apps.
The SASE platform runs on a global cloud infrastructure. This ensures low-latency performance and high availability for users and branch offices around the world. All security and networking features are delivered from this distributed network, reducing the need for backhauling traffic to central data centers.
All components of the SASE framework are managed through a single, cloud-based console. This unified interface gives IT teams full control over networking and security policies across the organization. It simplifies configuration, improves visibility, and speeds up troubleshooting—no matter how large or distributed your network is.

The Benefits of SASE

SASE is designed to be cloud-first, with a lightweight setup at each location or user endpoint. This makes deployment fast and easy. With zero-touch provisioning and self-service options, new users or locations can be added within minutes from anywhere in the world. Once connected, they immediately receive cloud-based security and performance optimization.
SASE gives complete visibility and control over all network traffic—across WAN, the internet, and cloud environments. It applies the same security rules to all users and devices, no matter where they are. This ensures that corporate policies are followed at every edge of the network and reduces the chance of security gaps.
SASE is built to operate and adapt on its own. As a cloud-native service, it stays up to date to protect against new security threats. It can recover from infrastructure issues without manual effort and keeps services running smoothly. It also scales automatically to support more users, higher traffic, and new global locations as your business grows.

A Single Vendor SASE Platform

Challenge: Traditional Solutions Are Too Complex and Costly

Most businesses today use different tools for networking and security. These tools often include VPNs, on-premises firewalls, and separate remote access systems. Managing all of them is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive.

These traditional systems were not designed for cloud environments or mobile users. They are rigid and hard to scale. Security is spread across different platforms and tools, which leads to gaps and delays. Instead of helping the business move faster, these tools create roadblocks and increase risk.

Solution: One Platform for Networking and Security

A single-vendor SASE platform solves this problem by combining all network and security services into one cloud-native system. It connects and protects users, sites, and cloud apps through a single global service.

This makes management easier, cuts costs, and improves security. Everything is delivered through the cloud, so your business can move faster, stay secure, and scale easily as it grows.

The Value of SASE in WAN Transformation

Digital transformation takes time. It usually happens through several different projects like adding SD-WAN, improving internet security, moving to the cloud, and supporting mobile users. These steps are part of a larger journey to modernize the network.

When planning your next upgrade—whether it’s for SD-WAN, global connectivity, or security—it’s important to think beyond just the current need. Ask yourself: is it better to invest in a single tool that solves one problem today, or choose a complete SASE platform that can support both your current needs and future projects?

With Saffron SASE Cloud, you get a long-term solution that grows with your business. It brings together networking and security in one platform so you don’t have to start over with every new requirement.
