The recent rush from SASE to SSE The Difference an ‘A’ Makes It’s not uncommon for things to move quickly within the realm of business IT and networking technologies. And the rate of innovation and service displacement only has accelerated. But the time it took SSE to challenge SASE must be some kind of record breaker. Before SASE could even approach its overinflated peak of hype as the next hot networking framework, contestants were making the case of “Why SSE is the new SASE.” Much of this debate comes down to the difference an ‘A’ makes in secure access service edge (SASE) and secure service edge (SSE), two terms both coined by Gartner in 2019 and 2021, respectively. Both SASE and SSE aim to enable the transition of corporate networks away from serving and defending resources behind a fixed network perimeter to serving and defending any application, user or resource no matter where it resides, with users and devices treated with equal suspicion, explain editors at CyberRisk Alliance, precisely what IT leaders need at a time when remote work is expanding the attack surface, while the use of cloud applications and edge resources are exploding. Neither acronym represents any “new” technology but rather a conglomeration of technologies brought together to support the goal of integrated networking, access control and security.
