It's time to get SASE - A new security model, unpacked by Dimension Data and Cisco [promoted]

Loading player...
In this episode of the podcast, TechCentral speaks to executives from Dimension Data and Cisco about the exciting new area of information security called SASE, or Secure Access Service Edge.
Pronounced "sassy" and coined by research firm Gartner, SASE is a big focus for both Cisco and its partner Dimension Data.
In short, SASE is the convergence of wide-area networking and cloud security services into a single, cloud-delivered service model. It has been described as the future of cloud security.
In the podcast, Dimension Data senior solutions architect Brynmor Campos and Cisco consulting systems engineer, Security Solutions, at Cisco Greg Griessel discuss what SASE is, why it's garnering significant focus in IT security discussions and what it means for South African organisations.
Griessel and Campos unpack how Covid-19 and the associated work-from-home measures have made the transition to a new security model more urgent.
