Network Firewall & SASE
8 providers in this category.
Network firewall and SASE platforms secure traffic between users, branches, and the internet, converging next-gen firewall, secure web gateway, CASB, zero-trust access, and often SD-WAN into one service. They suit organizations modernizing perimeter and remote-access security via appliances, a cloud-delivered edge, or both. Single-vendor convergence and cloud-native delivery are what separate the field.
