Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a cloud model that combines network and security functions in a comprehensive cloud service. The term is pronounced “sassy” and is intended to allow organizations to manage network and security tools in a single consolidated interface. SASE has minimal hardware requirements and operates independently of where users and resources are physically located.
