Escape the Upside-Down World of Networking and Security

Why Legacy Architectures Are Holding Enterprises Back—and How SASE Sets Them Free

As enterprises embrace cloud, hybrid work, and global expansion, traditional networking and security architectures are collapsing under their own complexity. Legacy, appliance-based models were never designed for today’s distributed users, applications, and threats—and the result is rising cost, operational friction, and growing risk.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) represents a fundamental shift. By converging networking and security into a single, cloud-native platform, SASE simplifies operations, improves resilience, and enables the agility modern businesses demand.

This eBook explores how SASE compares to the “upside-down” world of legacy appliances—revealing why so many organizations are rethinking their approach to connectivity and security.

Why Enterprises Are Moving to SASE

  • Simplify networking and security with a single, unified platform

  • Reduce operational complexity and infrastructure costs

  • Support hybrid work, cloud, and global expansion seamlessly

  • Improve security posture with continuous, cloud-delivered protection

  • Enable IT teams to focus on innovation instead of maintenance
