Case studies
Networks have never been more exposed.
With the rise of remote work, points of presence (PoPs) along the network edge are more abundant. For IT organizations tasked with managing remote and branch offices, it can be difficult to meet user needs in efficient ways while also maintaining security.
As cloud applications become prevalent, traditional WAN architectures may not be sufficient to meet the demands of modern organizations. Many are turning to SD-WAN, allowing for improved connectivity through a single dashboard. In conjunction with secure service edge (SSE), this approach takes the combined benefits of cloud and network security solutions and offers a unified solution: secure access service edge (SASE).
Security that scales with you
Selecting the right security partner can be a daunting task when faced with the multitude of technologies available. Choose a provider that is agnostic and will recommend the right mix for your unique enterprise.
A managed service provider (MSP) like CBTS assists in selecting and integrating needed solutions while offering a single point of contact. We can deliver integrated solutions from multiple vendors in a customized best-of-breed approach. This approach offers the best of both worlds—simplified operations while accessing the highest quality tools.

FAQs
Top 5 questions
What is SASE?
SASE, or secure access service edge, is a technology that provides network and best-of-breed security practices through cloud computing directly to the point of connection, rather than relying on a traditional data center setup.
How does SASE architecture work?
SASE combines SD-WAN and network security services like FWaaS, SaaS, SWGs, CASBs, endpoint security, and ZTNA into one platform. This creates a versatile security solution unaffected by employee locations, data centers, cloud services, or offices.
What is the difference between SASE and SD-WAN?
SD-WAN involves managing data transmission across a wide area network (WAN). In contrast, SASE is predominantly cloud-oriented, uniting WAN functionalities with network security services.
How does this technology interweave with SD-WAN?
Our networking integrates a full suite of security services. We’re bringing a robust environment that can support a data center, branch, cloud, or mobile workforce.
What are the benefits of SASE?
Ease of use, simplicity of the network, enhanced network security, backbone and edge unification, cost reduction, and scalability.
