What is the difference between SASE and ZTNA?

SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is a broader architectural framework that combines network security and WAN capabilities, while ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) is a specific security principle focused on verifying every access request. The key insight is that the architecture underneath matters more than the terminology used to describe it.

Why does network security still matter in a zero-trust world?

Network security remains essential because the path traffic takes, the user experience, and enforcement points all matter. Zero trust principles guide who can access what, but network reliability, segmentation, performance, and visibility form the enforcement fabric that makes zero trust effective. You can't secure what you can't see, and you can't enforce where you can't reach.

What is the main challenge enterprises face with SASE and ZTNA implementations?

The primary challenge is fragmentation—enterprises are forced to stitch together multiple vendors for SD-WAN, ZTNA, remote access, security controls, and observability, each with different dashboards. This creates operational gaps where attackers can thrive. A unified approach that consolidates these functions reduces complexity and improves security posture.

What does Aryaka's Unified SASE as a Service include?

Aryaka's Unified SASE includes a Zero Trust WAN for secure global performance, OnePASS™ Architecture for consistent policy enforcement, an integrated security stack (NGFW, SWG, CASB, IPS, malware protection), unified observability across users and sites, and flexible delivery models (self-managed, co-managed, or fully managed).

How can enterprises reduce operational complexity in their security architecture?

Instead of adopting new category labels, enterprises should focus on consolidating their security footprint, unifying enforcement policies, and building an architecture that works consistently across users and sites. This approach simplifies operations, reduces total cost of ownership, and improves application performance globally.
