As many organisations transition to a cloud-first approach, prioritising the use of cloud applications across their operations, network traffic escalates. At the same time, offering work flexibility in all its many guises, including hybrid working, work from home, or work from anywhere is becoming an expected workplace norm. Together, these modern expectations are placing enormous demands on traditional networks built on hub-and-spoke WAN architecture that was never intended to support and secure such network traffic.

Are your business goals focused on enhancing the customer experience to meet ever greater customer demands? Or boosting operational productivity and efficiency by extending process simplification and automation? Perhaps you are seeking to improve employee satisfaction and retention as part of strengthening your employer brand and culture. Or you could be looking to build resilience in your supply chain to withstand turbulent time? The answer to many modern business challenges lies in how you use new technology.

Is your organisation still managing security and networking policies across multiple disjointed consoles? For those who have been tasked to design a cloud-first and future-ready security architecture, secure access service edge, or SASE provides a flexible approach to ever-evolving network security.

The rapid adoption of SaaS applications and the growth of flexible working with more of the workforce working remotely, it’s not uncommon for companies to be using multiple management tools to secure and govern access to cloud services.

In an increasingly digital and remote work world where you need to keep your staff securely connected wherever they are, slow speeds, variable internet connectivity, and suboptimal network security can stymie productivity and business success. Having to deal with slow network speeds and downtime can also sow the seeds of employee frustration, leading to low morale and ultimately higher staff turnover and less than ideal customer experiences.
