IDC’s Research Director, Cathy Huang, shares key SSE adoption phases, buyer tips, and how to pick the right partner for a smooth, first-time-right transition.
Seamless security for borderless enterprises
Secure private apps, users, and internet traffic with an integrated, managed, and cloud-native Security Service Edge.

Challenges most enterprises face when it comes to scalable security
Protect remote and hybrid work force
Legacy VPNs and network-level controls like IP tables and ACLs are no longer effective in a work-from-anywhere world. They increase complexity, slow performance, and expose organisations to lateral threats across an expanded attack surface.
Secure cloud migration
Cloud migration raises concerns due to inconsistent security across multi-cloud setups, limited visibility, and complex management, especially when handling regulated data through multiple Cloud Service Providers (CSPs).
Accelerate move to SASE
Traditional MPLS-heavy networks and fragmented security architectures can’t meet the needs of always-on, digital-first enterprises, navigating hybrid, multi-vendor environments.
