A few years ago, next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) came out of nowhere to become a network security staple. These devices combined traditional L3/L4 packet filtering with deep packet inspection, IPS, and other network security services along with knowledge about users and applications. This model is changing rapidly, however.

In 2019, Gartner created the term SASE to describe a cloud-based service that combines networking and security to give remote workers safe access to internet-based resources. In response to these realities, Gartner coined a new term, secure service edge (SSE), which is essentially SASE minus SD-WAN , the network access part of the equation.

The five elements of SASE are CASB, secure web gateway, ZTNA, firewall as a service, and integrated SD-WAN. SSE is essentially SASE minus SD-WAN, the network access part of the equation.
