According to Gartner, “SD-WAN vendors adding cloud security to offer native SASE solutions is a major trend in this market, with a focus on tighter integration of networking and cloud delivered security components as well as simpler consumption and operation.” Gartner also says, “By 2025, 50 percent of SD-WAN purchases will be part of a single vendor SASE offering, up from less than 10 percent in 2021.”1

According to Gartner, “In addition to interconnecting their own sites, most enterprises are trying to solve two main challenges in this market: how to connect to the cloud, and how to secure the enterprise network when deploying distributed internet access. Consequently, cloud teams and security teams are increasingly part of SD-WAN procurements.” Gartner continues to say, “By 2024, 35 percent of enterprises will manage their branch and remote worker network access via the same management console, up from less than 1 percent in early 2021.”1
