Webinar Rebroadcast: SASE Challenges and Implementation Patterns for SMEs

SASE Adoption Spreading to SMEs Amid Cloud Migration and Zero Trust Shifts In recent years, the expansion of cloud utilization and remote work has increased interest in SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) based on Zero Trust. While adoption has primarily progressed among large corporations, there is an accelerating movement among mid-sized and small businesses (SMEs) to balance enhanced security with operational efficiency. However, implementing complex configurations or high-priced SASE as-is is impractical given limited personnel and cost constraints. There is an urgent need for 'right-sized SASE' suitable for SMEs.

Disconnect Between High-Function/High-Price SASE and On-Site Operations Existing SASE solutions, while feature-rich, face barriers due to high license fees and configuration complexity. SMEs, in particular, often need to continue using existing VPNs for the time being. Furthermore, many SASE solutions cannot support realistic operational requirements, such as inter-site or inter-system communication. Meanwhile, SMEs face high risks from 'shadow IT,' necessitating prompt action. Consequently, a significant gap has emerged between 'ideal security concepts' and 'mechanisms feasible on the ground.'

Explaining Implementation Patterns for SMEs, Including VPN Coexistence and Shadow IT Identification This seminar explains realistic SASE implementation patterns for SMEs, such as progressing toward Zero Trust step-by-step while maintaining existing VPN networks and shared account operations. It also introduces 'KAMOME SASE,' which focuses on functions necessary for SMEs to raise security levels while keeping costs down. Furthermore, it presents flexible configuration examples, including support for inter-site and inter-system communication. The content provides concrete SASE operations that on-site teams can implement 'starting today,' rather than just theoretical ideals.
