SASE, SSE & Zero Trust: vendors and distributors in Southeast Asia
Cloud-delivered security for users and branches: secure web gateways, cloud access security brokers, zero trust network access and SD-WAN, sold separately or combined as SASE. Vendors in this category deliver security from their own points of presence rather than from an appliance at the customer's perimeter.
What is sold under this label
- SASE
- Secure access service edge: SD-WAN networking and the SSE security services delivered together as one cloud service.
- SSE
- Security service edge: the security half of SASE — secure web gateway, CASB and ZTNA — without the WAN.
- Secure web gateway (SWG)
- Filters users' web traffic for malware and policy violations. Once a data-centre proxy, now usually a cloud service.
- Cloud access security broker (CASB)
- Shows which SaaS applications staff use and controls what they do in them, including how data is shared.
- Zero trust network access (ZTNA)
- Connects a user to one named application after checking identity and device, instead of placing the user on the network as a VPN does.
- SD-WAN
- Routes branch traffic over several links — broadband, MPLS, 4G/5G — according to application policy.
Regulations that call for it
Requirements from the regulation guides published on this site that put this category into a purchase.
- MAS TRM — Cyber Hygiene Notice: network perimeter defence. Restricting unauthorised traffic at the perimeter, which the guide maps to secure web gateways and SASE as well as firewalls.
- MAS TRM — TRM Guidelines, section 9. Access control, including least privilege and remote access.
- BNM RMiT — Access control. Stronger authentication for remote access to critical systems.
- Singapore PDPA — PDPC ICT practices: data assets. Controls over personal data held in cloud services, where a CASB is a common tool.
The guides give the full requirement, the source document and what changes next. They are not legal advice.
