Speaking with TechRepublic, Brisbane-based Gartner Senior Principal Research Analyst Bjarne Munch said although it is “very early days” in terms of holistic SASE being adopted in Australia, “We are seeing a lot of mid- to large-sized enterprises looking at it in their future roadmap.” Many Australian organizations who have migrated to software-defined wide-area networking are converging security solutions first because of the clearer value proposition.Jump to: Australian enterprises want SASE convergence to make IT management simple Describing a future vision of converged network and security-as-a-service capabilities and driven by the move to SD-WAN architecture as well as more distributed workforces, SASE is now being championed by some as the future.“There’s often conflict in configuration settings between SD-WAN and security applications — it is not unusual to see erratic application performance behaviour because of conflict between policies,” Munch said.Instead of three different services from three different vendors, it can converge into one service from one provider with one user interface with one configuration (Figure A).” Figure A Munch said the value proposition is so strong he has no doubt enterprises will go down this path.
