Challenges
What Are the Challenges with Securing Access at the Service Edge?
As the traditional network perimeter dissolves, organisations face growing complexity in managing user access, performance, and threat prevention:
Remote, mobile, and hybrid workforces challenge traditional access controls and increase risk exposure.
Disconnected tools across branch offices, cloud apps, and data centres lead to inconsistent enforcement.
With growing SaaS usage, organisations must secure access to multiple cloud platforms – often with different access protocols.
Routing traffic back through centralised data centres creates bottlenecks and impacts user experience.
Without edge-based controls, endpoints and users become vulnerable to phishing, malware, and data exfiltration.
Managing multiple vendors, policies, and enforcement points is inefficient and error-prone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a cloud-delivered framework that combines networking and security into a single, unified service model. Coined by Gartner, it enables organisations to deliver secure, identity-aware access to users – no matter where they are, what device they use, or which application they’re connecting to.
A typical SASE architecture integrates several key technologies, including:
-
SD-WAN for intelligent, performance-optimised networking
-
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) for secure, identity-based access
-
Secure Web Gateways (SWG) for web traffic protection
-
Cloud Firewalls for perimeter-less security
-
Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB) for visibility and control over cloud usage
Together, these components create a seamless, end-to-end security and connectivity framework that protects users, data, and applications across distributed environments.
Modern businesses are moving away from traditional, perimeter-based security models that no longer suit cloud-first, hybrid-working environments. SASE delivers a scalable, flexible, and security-first approach, ensuring consistent protection and performance across all locations and devices.
At IDS-INDATA, we design and implement strategic SASE frameworks that unify networking and security to protect your entire digital ecosystem. Our solutions help enterprises move beyond legacy infrastructure, simplify management, and gain complete visibility and control over access, data, and performance – wherever work happens.
