GEC NEWS WIRENetskope, a leader in Secure Access Service Edge announced that Gartner, Inc. has recognized the company for the second year in a row as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Service Edge. The report shows Netskope to have the highest Ability to Execute and to be furthest in Completeness of Vision in the 2023 Magic Quadrant for SSE
As a framework for converging networks and security, SASE helps teams safeguard data, provide fast and reliable access to networks and applications, and realize better efficiency and return on investment by addressing both network and security challenges through a unified architecture. SSE encompasses the security technologies that when successfully converged with SD-WAN capabilities, enable successful SASE.
Organizations also increasingly seek SSE and SASE capabilities from fewer vendors as they prioritize the cost and management benefits of reducing vendor and tool sprawl. Gartner notes that “by 2025, 80% of enterprises will have adopted a strategy to unify web, cloud services, and private application access using a SASE/SSE architecture, up from 20% in 2021.”
