Firewalls have come a long way from their humble beginnings of assessing network traffic based on appearance alone. Here are six predictions for the future of the firewall. For example, a typical NGFW now may be equipped with firewalling, SD-WAN, a Wi-Fi controller for SD-Branch, an Ethernet controller, and zero-trust functionality.

Fortinet is also jumping on the generative AI bandwagon with enhancements to its FortiAI technology, which is getting updated to help manage and orchestrate SD-WAN infrastructure. The latest integration as part of Unified SASE is with Fortinet Secure SD-WAN. What is sovereign SASE and why is it needed?

When deployed properly, SASE, which combines SD-WAN with cloud-delivered security via SSE, enables all users and devices, regardless of location, to securely access an organization’s hybrid network. However, it’s still important to assess how well SD-WAN and SSE are connected within a SASE solution.

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.

Some switches can operate on Layer 3, and some routers can perform switching tasks, but in general switches operate on the LAN, and routers typically connect LANs to the Internet and other routers on wide-area networks (WAN). These networks utilize Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to send and receive data from other LANs and WANs.

SASE vs. SD-WAN SSE can be considered a subset of SASE (secure access service edge), which is a term coined by Gartner to describe a cloud-based service that combines networking and security to give remote workers safe access to internet-based resources. SSE is essentially SASE minus SD-WAN, the network access part of the equation.

It started with the “Starbucks problem” where employees, partners, and customers could access corporate resources completely outside of the corporate network. SSE is a great complement to SD-WAN , and jointly they create SASE (Secure Access Service Edge). See you there. By John Watts, Nat Smith, Jonathan Forest, May 2023.

The pandemic also exposed the limitations of virtual private networks, which enable remote access to secure computing resources. A VPN lets employees “tunnel” in through the corporate firewall using an encrypted connection that rides on top of the public internet. This prudent approach has several benefits to customers.
