Organizations often grapple with the task of protecting sensitive information from potential breaches and unauthorized access. They need to strike a delicate balance between enabling seamless access for authorized users and fortifying defense mechanisms to deter unauthorized intrusions.
However, the mounting struggle lies not only in the importance of safeguarding data but also in managing the numerous tools necessary for this purpose. With encryption, access control, intrusion detection and a host of other solutions, organizations find themselves in a fight with the complexity and diversity of these tools.
Secure Access Service Edge, or SASE, can assist organizations that struggle with tools management. By consolidating various security services into a unified cloud-based platform, SASE simplifies the security infrastructure, improves operational efficiency and offers centralized management and policy enforcement. SASE also allows organizations to dynamically adapt their security capabilities, effectively managing the tools needed for safeguarding sensitive data.
And SASE is coming to Hughes customers.
