This whitepaper explores new research from Foundry (IDG CIO Community) and Comcast Business revealing that network security and remote connectivity have replaced cloud security and innovation as the top challenges driving interest in adoption of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions.

Three noteworthy takeaways from the report include:

  • Operational benefits of SASE may help alleviate persistent cybersecurity staffing challenges.

  • There is an ongoing need to adopt more robust cybersecurity measures to secure data, networks, and cloud environments because of hybrid and remote work.

  • Framework of the four computing environments for edge: engagement, operations, enterprise, and provider

  • There is a strong preference for working with a managed service provider (MSP) for SASE deployment and ongoing management.
