Over the last few years, the way we work has changed dramatically. With more teams working remotely, accessing cloud apps, and connecting from all over the world, many businesses are starting to realise that their old security tools—like VPNs—just aren’t keeping up. In this blog, we break down what’s changing, why it matters, and how a newer model called SASE (pronounced "sassy") could be the upgrade your business needs.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) has long been the go-to way for employees to securely access company data when working remotely. It creates a secure “tunnel” between the user and your internal network.
But there are a few problems with traditional VPNs today:
SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is a newer, cloud-native approach to secure connectivity. It gives your team secure access to the apps and data they need—without all the slow, clunky VPN routing.
Like giving each user their own secure, direct lane to the internet, instead of forcing them all through the same crowded tunnel.
No more slow loading times or video call dropouts. SASE connects users directly to cloud apps with built-in security, reducing lag and improving productivity.
SASE uses a zero-trust model. That means no one is trusted by default—even inside your company. Every connection is verified, and users only access what they need.
It’s all managed from the cloud. That means no more fiddling with on-site servers or patching VPN software. IT teams get better visibility, and business owners get peace of mind.
Whether your team is in the office, at home, or halfway across the world, SASE keeps everyone connected—securely and consistently.
If you’re still relying solely on a VPN to secure your remote workforce, now is the time to start exploring your options.
SASE isn’t just for large enterprises—it’s already helping SMEs reduce risk, improve performance, and stay ahead of evolving threats.
