Use Cases of the Kylada SASE Solutions

One of the use cases of the Kylada SASE solutions is to secure the remote workforce. With the rise of remote work, organizations need to ensure that their employees can securely and efficiently access the corporate network and resources from anywhere, using any device. However, traditional network and security solutions, such as VPNs, firewalls, and proxies, are not designed for the remote work scenario. They can introduce latency, complexity, and inconsistency in the network and security policies, affecting the user experience and the security posture. Kylada SASE solves this challenge by providing a device-centric SASE solution that adapts to the dynamic secure access needs of the remote workforce. Kylada SASE uses Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) to verify every request and prevent unauthorized access to the corporate network and resources. Kylada SASE also uses Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) to optimize the network performance and user experience by routing traffic through the nearest cloud edge point. Kylada SASE also provides consistent and granular security policies that can be applied to all network components, regardless of their location or device type. By using Kylada SASE, organizations can enable their remote workforce to securely and efficiently access the corporate network and resources, without the need for a traditional VPN, while also improving the user experience and the security posture.

Another use case of the Kylada SASE solutions is to protect the SaaS applications. SaaS applications are essential for modern organizations, as they provide easy access to cloud-based services and resources that enhance productivity, collaboration, and innovation. However, SaaS applications also pose significant security challenges, as they expose the network to various cyber threats, such as data breaches, malware infections, unauthorized access, and compliance violations. To protect the network and the data from these threats, organizations need a solution that can secure all the SaaS applications, no matter where they are hosted or accessed from. Kylada SASE solves this challenge by providing a cloud-based platform that secures all the SaaS applications, no matter where they are hosted or accessed from. Kylada SASE uses Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) to monitor and control the use of SaaS applications and services by the users and devices. Kylada SASE also uses Secure Web Gateway (SWG) to block malicious or risky websites, applications, and content that may compromise the network or the data. Kylada SASE also integrates with popular SaaS applications, such as Office 365, Salesforce, Dropbox, and Slack, to provide granular control and protection for each application. By using Kylada SASE, organizations can protect their SaaS applications and data from cyber threats, while also enabling their users to access them from anywhere, using any device.

A third use case of the Kylada SASE solutions is to enable edge computing. Edge computing is a paradigm that moves the computation and data processing closer to the source of the data, such as sensors and IoT devices, to reduce latency, bandwidth consumption, and cost. Edge computing is becoming more prevalent in today’s digital environment, as organizations need to process large amounts of data in real-time for applications such as smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and industrial IoT. However, edge computing also introduces new security challenges, as the network edge becomes more distributed and heterogeneous, increasing the attack surface and the complexity of the network and security management. Kylada SASE solves this challenge by providing a cloud-based platform that enables edge computing, while also securing the network edge. Kylada SASE uses SD-WAN to create virtual connections between the edge devices and the cloud, providing near-unlimited paths for the data traffic, and allowing for powerful flexibility in encryption and policy management. Kylada SASE also uses Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) to move the firewall protection to the cloud, instead of the traditional network perimeter, providing consistent security policies that reach beyond the geographic footprint. Kylada SASE also uses additional security tools, such as email security, DNS filtering, threat intelligence, and vulnerability management, to provide extra layers of protection and visibility for the network edge. By using Kylada SASE, organizations can enable edge computing, while also securing the network edge, reducing the latency, bandwidth consumption, and cost, and improving the operational efficiency and scalability.
