Understanding Unified SASE

Unified SASE, as defined by Fortinet, integrates both networking and cloud security services under a single vendor solution, facilitating secure access for hybrid workforces. Essential components of this unified approach include the consolidation of security services, such as secure web gateways and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), into a single management console, streamlining user experience and policy enforcement. This integration helps organizations eliminate tool fatigue that arises from juggling multiple vendor solutions, leading to consistent security management and updates. By enabling flexibility in connectivity, unified SASE allows businesses to maintain seamless access to various applications, whether on-premises or in the cloud.
