Zero Trust principles ensure continuous verification of users and devices
SASE’ s approach to threat detection represents a fundamental shift from perimeter-based security to identity-centric protection.
By classifying traffic at the application layer( Layer 7), secure access service edge eliminates the need for complex port-application research and mapping, providing clear visibility into application usage.
The architecture’ s distributed nature means security inspection occurs close to users rather than requiring traffic to be backhauled to centralised data centres.
This approach not only improves performance but also ensures that security teams maintain full visibility and inspection of traffic across all ports and protocols, regardless of user location or device type.
The ZTNA service of SASE is an extension of a Zero Trust Architecture( ZTA) which, according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, not only includes applying zero trust principles to control access to applications but access to the physical network as well.
