adding value through automated policy configurations, behavioral analytics, and automation to detect,
diagnose, and resolve performance and security issues in real time.

Edge Computing and 5G Integration: Our vision is to extend robust security to the edge, ensuring
seamless protection and connectivity for IoT devices, remote sites, and branch offices.

Quantum-Resilient Security: Quantum computing is a potential threat to existing encryption models. A
SASE solution should secure data transmissions and safeguard critical systems against quantum-based
