Networking and Security Convergence: Assessing SASE Progress and Best Practices


Networking and security teams are increasingly working toward convergence through SASE to simplify infrastructure, improve user experience, and strengthen protection. While many organizations see this as a top priority, progress is uneven due to differences in team structures, goals, and tools. As adoption grows, success depends on aligning teams, clearly defining use cases, and integrating both networking and security strategies to support evolving needs like cloud access and GenAI.

  • Many organizations are actively working to combine networking and security, but organizational and operational differences slow progress.
  • SASE adoption is widespread, though some organizations focus more on cloud migration than true convergence.
  • Use cases like securing SaaS, branch connectivity, and private applications are driving SASE strategies.
  • Aligning teams and workflows remains critical to realizing benefits like cost savings and improved user experience.
