The explosion of SaaS applications, a global pandemic forcing much of the workforce to work remotely, and attacks becoming more sophisticated created the perfect storm for Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) to gain popularity in the last 12 months. SASE is a term defined by Gartner for a new architectural model for enterprise networking and network security. Essentially SASE allows you to enable your workforce to be productive anywhere, on any device, while maximizing performance and minimizing risk. SASE has a lot of components that can make it confusing and overwhelming. As defined by Gartner, some of these components are mandatory as a part of a SASE architecture while others are recommended.

In this episode of The Click-Down podcast, Dan Feller and I talk about what SASE is and why it’s important. We invite Eric Beiers, Principal Security Architect, to demystify what SASE is and how he has seen customers approach it. Finally, he discusses how Citrix offers a complete SASE solution that meets all the recommended and mandatory components as defined by Gartner.

And like last time, Dan and I do a quick tech update to make sure you are up to date on all the latest Citrix features and functionalities.
