What Is Gartner SASE?
The Secure Access Service Edge (SASE, pronounced sassy) is a new way of connecting the borderless enterprise for a cloud-first world. It brings networking and security together into a unified platform, built on a cloud-native platform and delivered from the cloud as SaaS applications.

“Above all, the microservices architecture needs to be constructed so that API-based cloud-to-cloud integration is possible with minimal development effort. I believe that Infoblox, a leading network services provider, has led the way in this regard, having invested in the cloud-native BloxOne platform for containerized microservices over the course of the past several years.”

Why SASE and Why Now?
Businesses are increasingly decentralized, mobile access is the new normal, critical applications now live in the cloud and the traditional network security perimeter has vanished. As a result, existing network architectures can no longer keep up. With SASE, networks evolve from data center appliances to cloud-managed, cloud-delivered containers that secure the user experience—no matter where they are located.

THE KEY TO SASE
CLOUD-NATIVE MICROSERVICES
In the Gartner concept of SASE, the use of cloud-native microservices is critical to success. Approaches that involve simply shifting virtualized technologies to the cloud cannot provide the speed and agility needed to support cloud-powered networks at scale. Infoblox has been at the forefront in making advanced networking and security capabilities available as microservices delivered from the cloud.
