Earlier this month, Amit Verma, Vice President of Technology & Solutions Engineering, Comcast Business spoke at the NRF 2022 in New York City. In his session, he discussed how SASE merges security with SD-WAN to create a single, unified cloud service with benefits including flexible scalability, simplified WAN deployment, increased security, and application-based bandwidth allocation.

The discussion addressed how SASE models can be configured to best support today’s retail network applications (including SWG, CASB, ZTNA, and FWaaS), identify sensitive data and malware, decrypt content at line speed, continuously monitor sessions, and assess risk and trust levels.
