10:00 AM Identity’s Role In A SASE Architecture

For many organizations, more and more users, data, and services are located outside the protection of the traditional network perimeter. At the same time, employees are using dozens of applications—including on-premises and software-as-a-service (SaaS) apps—to accomplish their  work. Typically, organizations have deployed an array of point products to handle different security requirements for remote workers, such as secure web gateways, application firewalls, secure virtual private network (VPN) access, cloud access security brokers (CASBs), and more. This not only increases administrative costs and complexity, but also makes for inconsistent user experiences. If an organization has not implemented single sign-on (SSO), user experiences become even more complex, and the situation starts to impact remote worker productivity.


In this session, Jefferson will discuss the network security challenges facing organizations with distributed or remote workforces and how you can address them with a centralised Identity management.
