As enterprise applications, users and data continue to move beyond traditional network boundaries, organizations face growing complexity in securing access without undermining productivity. Hybrid work, cloud adoption and an expanding security stack have made prevention harder to manage, particularly as point solutions multiply across the IT environment.

John Volkering, technical director at Versa Networks, examines how a platform-based Secure Access Service Edge approach can help organizations regain control while reducing operational overhead. He explains how consolidating secure connectivity, zero trust access and cloud security controls can limit blast radius, improve visibility and maintain user experience in increasingly distributed environments.

In this session, Volkering will also discuss:

• How hybrid work and cloud adoption are reshaping access and security requirements;
• Why fragmented point solutions increase complexity, cost and security blind spots;
• How a unified SASE platform can support prevention while simplifying operations.
