One of the common confusions between SASE and a VPN is how they are different. SASE and VPNs both are designed to protect network data however they both go about it in different ways.
Traditional VPN tools are standalone applications, whereas SASE solutions combine a number of features and tools into one platform. For example Datto Secure edge includes these key SASE features:
Secure web gateway
Firewall as a service (FWaaS)
Software defined Wide Area Network
Zero trust network access
Overall, SASE delivers a more complete and secure solution than a traditional VPN.
As the number of remote workers that managed service providers support grows, clients expect their networks to remain secured. Datto secure edge is a cloud based SASE solution that ensures MSP and SMB IT professionals can secure remote and hybrid user environments with ease.
