Legacy Enterprise Solutions Do Not Work Well with SaaS

As organizations grow and expand into multiple branch offices, they are forced into hub-and-spoke deployment, backhauling branch office traffic to a central security stack for inspection. The rapid increase in SaaS adoption is introducing bottlenecks and deteriorating user experience. Point solutions like SD-WAN, SWGs and CASB can alleviate some of these problems but lack cohesion, failing to provide full visibility into all SaaS and outbound application traffic.

Operational inefficiency
  • The hub-and-spoke model with centralized security introduces bottlenecks and latency, deteriorating user experience
  • Increased adoption of SaaS applications and the rapid move towards multi-cloud deployments worsens the problem
  • For latency-free user experience, SaaS traffic needs to be identified and routed directly to the cloud, bypassing the security stack

Incomplete security
  • Solutions like SD-WAN provide traffic optimization but lack security features that are essential for secure internet access
  • Point solutions like CASB do not provide full visibility, lack cohesion and provide partial coverage of important security features
  • Access control is key to stopping data transfers between sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS applications

Disjointed visibility
  • With the rise in SaaS adoption, the use of Shadow IT has also increased
  • Bypassing SaaS traffic for traffic optimization creates a visibility blackhole
  • Visibility across all branches, the headquarter with the central security stack, and the cloud is important
