HCLTech Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Solutions

HCLTech and Zscaler SASE Offering

Overview

Traditionally, the data center has been the cornerstone of enterprise network security. However, as businesses accelerate their digital transformation, the access demands of users, devices and applications have far outgrown the limits of a centralized model. Work is no longer tied to a physical office—it’s an activity we carry out anywhere and everywhere. Whether remote employees, branch offices or IoT devices, today’s workforce and systems need seamless access to the internet, SaaS platforms, cloud applications and internal resources to function effectively. This proliferation of access points has brought about a new wave of secure access challenges that demand a holistic and future-proof solution. Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) offers a transformative architectural approach designed to unify and elevate network security in today’s dynamic digital environment.
