SASE vs SD-WAN

This video clarifies some common misinterpretations of SASE and what it is and what it isn’t as it relates to the WAN. Spoiler alert! It’s not SASE VERSUS SD-WAN! SD-WAN is actually a foundational component of SASE architecture. If you read the initial Gartner report from the Summer of 2019 that introduced the SASE framework as well as follow-on reports, they clearly define SASE as the combination of SD-WAN and security functions delivered in the cloud.
