Do you know what a good Secure Services Access Edge (SASE) strategy is and what it can provide? A good SASE strategy provides secure access from edge to edge - including data center, remote offices, roaming users, and beyond. With increases in hybrid work and hybrid cloud adoption, securing the perimeter has become more challenging and important over the years. Listen to this podcast episode featuring Cisco SASE experts Rohan Naggi and Yuval Yatskan to learn about the reasons for a SASE strategy, how it works with SD-WAN, and how to be successful in the adoption of SASE.

For more information on SASE read the new chapter of the Global Networking Trends Report Special Edition: The State of SASE (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/enterprise-networks/2022-networking-report-preview.html) and visit the links below:
