Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

A modern way to connect users to apps and data securely, wherever they are.

Talk to our SASE experts

What is Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)?

Most businesses still rely on a mix of VPNs, firewalls and separate security tools to control access to systems and data.

That worked when everything sat inside a network, but now that many users are working remotely, and businesses are operating in the cloud, it’s much harder to manage.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a different approach.

It combines networking and security into a single, cloud-delivered model, allowing users to connect securely to applications and data from wherever they are, without relying on a fixed network perimeter.

The concept is simple. Getting the right setup isn’t.

We help you assess your current environment, compare SASE vendors and design a solution that works in practice, not just on paper.

The benefits of SASE

SASE gives your business a more secure, consistent way to connect users to systems and data, without the limitations of traditional networks.

Access

Give users secure, consistent access to applications and data, regardless of location, without relying on legacy network models.

Security

Apply security controls closer to the user, reducing reliance on perimeter-based approaches and improving protection across distributed environments.

Simplicity

Replace multiple point solutions with a more integrated approach, making environments easier to manage and scale.

Flexibility

Support hybrid working, cloud adoption and multi-site operations without needing to redesign your network every time things change.

Why choose PrimeTel?

SASE makes sense on paper. The difficulty is making it work in practice

Most SASE solutions combine multiple services into a single platform.

Sounds straightforward, but in reality, every vendor approaches it differently. Some are stronger on networking, others on security. Some are better suited to global environments, others to simpler setups.

This makes it incredibly difficult to choose the right SASE vendor for you.

We help you break that down, comparing managed SASE services and vendors based on how they’ll perform in your environment, not just how they’re positioned in the market.

Frequently asked questions

What is SASE and how does it work for businesses?

SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is a way of connecting your users to systems and data securely, no matter where they’re working.

Instead of sending everything through your office network or relying on VPNs, users connect directly to applications through a cloud-based security layer. That means access is checked and controlled wherever they are, whether they’re at home, in the office or on the move.

For your business, this usually means fewer bottlenecks, more consistent performance and a simpler way to manage both networking and security across different locations.

What are managed SASE services?

Managed SASE services combine the SASE platform with ongoing management, monitoring and support.

This means the environment is not just deployed, but actively maintained and optimised. Providers handle configuration, policy management and ongoing changes, reducing the burden on internal teams.

For most businesses, this makes SASE more practical to implement and manage.

How do I compare SASE vendors properly?

SASE vendors often look similar at a high level, but differ significantly in capability.

Some focus more on networking performance, others on security depth. Coverage, global presence, integration and management capabilities can also vary.

A structured comparison helps ensure you select a vendor that aligns with your environment, rather than choosing based on brand or positioning.

Who offers vendor-neutral SASE support?

Vendor-neutral SASE support typically comes from independent consultants or advisory firms that are not tied to a specific provider, such as PrimeTel.

This allows businesses to compare options objectively and choose the most suitable solution, rather than being guided towards a single vendor.

This approach is particularly valuable in a market where offerings can appear similar but perform differently.

What are the benefits of SASE for remote and hybrid working?

SASE allows users to access applications securely from any location without relying on traditional VPN-based models.

This improves user experience, reduces bottlenecks and ensures consistent security policies are applied regardless of where users are working.

For businesses supporting hybrid work, this creates a more flexible and scalable approach to access.

Is SASE suitable for multi-site and global organisations?

Yes, SASE is particularly relevant for businesses with multiple locations or global operations.

It provides a consistent way to manage access and security across sites, users and cloud environments, reducing complexity and improving visibility.

However, the suitability depends on how the solution is designed and which vendor is chosen.
