“In the aftermath of the pandemic, organizations are looking for effective approaches to manage hybrid work models.

SASE offers a comprehensive approach which addresses these needs and offers a simpler, consistent and more secure approach to work from anywhere”, states Boaz Avigad, Director, Product Marketing at Cato Networks.

“In the era of all the challenges during the M&A process, there is a common & major question: how can companies prepare and manage the integration of IT networks in M&A to enable the combined business process and achieve the expected M&A goals? Software-defined WAN manage services can be an efficient way to blend networks without compromising security, service degradation & time losing”, states Vladik Arshanski, IT Communication & Infrastructure Director at NVIDIA Networking BU.

Zeus Kerravala, Founder and Principal Analyst at ZK Research stated, “SD-WANs and SASE are at an inflection point as they are moving out of the early adopter phase and into the mainstream. The primary catalyst for the acceleration of the technologies has been the pandemic as IT and business leaders are looking to modernize the network to accommodate the shift to hybrid work. The World SD-WAN Summit Asia provides an excellent forum for people to get some practical advice on how to adopt SD-WAN and SASE without putting their businesses at risk.”

“The pandemic’s disruptions have driven firms to explore SD-WAN & SASE solutions as a means of identifying major technology trends and prioritizing those that have the greatest influence on their competitive advantage.
