WHAT IS SASE?
SASE overview
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a new enterprise of network and security functions introduced by Gartner. The SASE platform converges SD-WAN and network security point solutions (FWaaS, CASB, SWG, and ZTNA) into a unified, cloud-native service. In the past, network access was implemented with point solutions, managed as silos that were complex and costly. With SASE, enterprises can reduce the time to develop new products, deliver them to the market, and become adaptable to changes in business conditions or the competitive landscape.

Protect your business with NordLayer SASE solutions
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a blueprint for better business security, combining software-defined edge networking, user-centric authentication, access control and seamless integration across the cloud. Apply SASE with NordLayer to help resolve your security challenges.
Secure remote access
With Smart Remote Access, admins can connect to remote devices with minimal user interference and fix things straight away. Users can be on opposite sides of the globe and remain linked, as long as both devices have the NordLayer client installed and are connected to a private gateway with Smart Remote Access capabilities turned on.
Performance assurance
Fewer hops can mean lower network latency, better performance and fewer opportunities for network traffic to be exploited by threat actors. NordLynx, a new-generation VPN protocol offers improved connection, faster speeds, and better security measures than other VPN protocols, including WireGuard.
Controlled move to cloud services
Cloud migrations reduce IT overheads, make businesses more agile, facilitate remote working, and allow innovative companies to expand. NordLayer assists organizations in moving into the cloud and maintaining security levels further on, allowing all businesses to exploit the benefits of the cloud safely and effectively.
Work from home safely
NordLayer provides the tools that keep remote workers’ data secure, no matter where they are working. The right combination of technologies, from identity proofing, multi-factor authentication, single-sign-on, virtual private networks, adaptive authentication, and visitor management, makes it all not only possible but easy.
HOW WE HELP
SASE components & NordLayer
There are several individual components that comprise the SASE framework. When provided in one easy-to-use, easy-to-combine solution like NordLayer, network security management is simplified, and the safety of your business is significantly improved.
Cloud Access Service Broker (CASB)
NordLayer contributes to achieving CASB capabilities for your network security by combining threat prevention and data encryption security features and integrating IAM and SSO tools to control access to critical company resources.
Secure Web Gateway (SWG)
SWGs help companies execute their security policies to make internet access safer by enforcing data protection against unauthorized transfer or access. NordLayer’s features like ThreatBlock, DPI (Lite), and DNS filtering by category let restrict access to inappropriate and malicious websites.

Frequently asked questions
To meet the security demands of today, modern businesses require more than what traditional security solutions can offer. To ensure the safety and integrity of their networks, organizations need greater control over who is accessing corporate data, which is what the SASE framework provides. Within the shifting SASE landscape, NordLayer security services provide capabilities to ensure businesses of all sizes fulfill scaling and integration challenges when building a modern secure remote access solution.
As stated by security experts, Gartner, SASE combines several different security components to ensure that businesses have the greatest available level of control over the integrity of their networks. Leaning on the Zero Trust principles, SASE protects remote workers, data, and cloud resources whether they are inside or outside of the network.
SASE is used as a comprehensive security framework to protect business networks, users accessing them, and the critical data and resources inside of the network perimeter.
SASE network security solutions integrate with business infrastructures to provide secure access control to critical areas of the network. Combining strict authorization measures, and layers of cloud security components, and data protection, organizations have more power to defend themselves against outside threats, whilst controlling access to sensitive information — even limiting the damage of any data breaches that may occur.
SD-WANs are responsible for channeling traffic across the network via data centers. Whilst also cloud-based, SASE is a framework where data traveling across the network is consistently inspected for authenticity. For distributed workforces across the world - as many of today’s businesses are made up of - SASE provides a far more secure and efficient method for ensuring secure remote access to business networks for remote users, by incorporating SD-WAN into it’s cloud service.
