SASE & Secure Access

Connect every user.Protect every access path.

Vendor-neutral SASE strategy, architecture, migration and managed operation for cloud-first, hybrid and distributed organisations.

Vectra helps organisations modernise networking and security by combining Zero Trust access, cloud-delivered security and optimised connectivity across users, devices, branches, cloud platforms and private applications.

Start with the operating model

SASE is not a product. It is an architecture.

The right approach depends on users, applications, branch connectivity, cloud adoption, identity, data risk and the operational model. Vectra designs the architecture before selecting the platform.

01 / ASSESS

Understand the current environment

Review WAN, VPN, firewalls, internet breakout, identity, devices, cloud applications and user experience.

02 / DESIGN

Define the target architecture

Design access, policy, traffic flows, security controls, branch connectivity and migration patterns.

03 / MIGRATE

Move without disrupting users

Transition from legacy VPN, MPLS, appliance-based controls and fragmented cloud-security services.

04 / OPERATE

Maintain and optimise

Manage policy, access, performance, incidents, integrations, reporting and continuous improvement.

Core SASE capabilities

Networking and security delivered together.

A complete SASE architecture converges secure access, internet protection, cloud visibility and wide-area networking through cloud-delivered policy enforcement.

ZTNA

Zero Trust Network Access

Provide application-level access based on identity, device posture, context and least privilege.

  • Replace broad network-level VPN access
  • Reduce lateral movement
  • Apply continuous access decisions
SWG

Secure Web Gateway

Protect internet traffic against malicious content, risky destinations and policy violations.

  • URL and content filtering
  • Threat prevention
  • Remote-user protection
CASB

Cloud Access Security Broker

Gain visibility and control over sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud application use.

  • Shadow IT discovery
  • SaaS risk controls
  • Data and activity visibility
FWaaS

Firewall as a Service

Deliver network-security policy through a globally distributed cloud service.

  • Threat prevention
  • Application control
  • Consistent distributed policy
SD-WAN

Software-Defined WAN

Optimise branch and cloud connectivity across multiple links, locations and providers.

  • Application-aware routing
  • Resilience and performance
  • Reduced backhaul dependence
Data + Experience

DLP, DNS and Digital Experience

Protect sensitive data while measuring user and application performance across the service edge.

  • Data-loss prevention
  • DNS security
  • Experience monitoring
Flexible architecture models

Single platform, dual vendor or phased transition.

Vectra can design around one converged platform, integrate complementary networking and security providers, or build a staged migration that protects existing investments.

Converged SASE

One platform for networking and security.

Best suited where operational simplicity, unified policy and a single service architecture are the primary goals.

Dual-Vendor SASE

Best-of-breed SSE plus SD-WAN.

Best suited where existing network investments or specialist security requirements justify an integrated multi-platform design.

Phased Modernisation

Move from legacy controls progressively.

Best suited where VPN, firewall, MPLS and branch transformation must be sequenced around business and technical dependencies.

SASE workshops and reviews

Define the right secure-access strategy.

Vectra workshops bring security, network, cloud, identity, application and business teams together to define requirements and create a practical roadmap.

01
Current-state assessmentReview internet access, branch connectivity, VPN, firewalls, cloud usage, identity and user experience.
02
Requirements definitionCapture security, network, application, compliance, data, performance and operational needs.
03
Architecture and platform fitDefine target-state controls and evaluate converged, dual-vendor or phased options.
04
Migration planningSequence users, branches, applications and security services while managing dependencies and risk.
05

Vectra SASE services

Support across the full SASE lifecycle.

Assessment

Network and secure-access review

Identify architectural gaps, performance issues, access risk and modernisation opportunities.

Strategy

SASE roadmap and business case

Define scope, priorities, migration phases, commercial options and measurable outcomes.

Architecture

Target-state design

Design traffic flows, trust models, policy, identity integration, branch connectivity and resilience.

Implementation

Platform deployment

Configure tenants, connectors, policies, agents, gateways, branches and supporting integrations.

Migration

VPN, firewall and WAN transition

Migrate users and locations with structured testing, rollback planning and minimal disruption.

Management

Operations and optimisation

Support policy, incidents, access, performance, reporting, upgrades and continuous improvement.

Delivery approach

From fragmented access to a secure service edge.

01

Discover

Understand users, devices, applications, locations, networks and risk.

02

Define

Confirm requirements, success measures, ownership and migration priorities.

03

Design

Create the target architecture, policies, integrations and transition plan.

04

Deploy

Implement, migrate, test and transition users, applications and branches.

05

Optimise

Improve policy, experience, performance, visibility and service maturity.

Business outcomes

Secure access without the legacy network penalty.

A well-designed SASE architecture improves security and connectivity while reducing dependence on centralised appliances and broad network access.
