Versa, which provides universal SASE, announced the commercial availability of Versa Sovereign SASE. This tech allows enterprises, government agencies and SPs to deploy customized networking and security services, directly from their own infrastructure in a “do-it-yourself” model.
This approach addresses increasing demand for control, amidst evolving data privacy regulations, heightened security threats and challenges posed by reliance on third-party SaaS infrastructure.
Sovereign SASE’s benefits include:
- Increased privacy and control.
- Reduced service disruption risk.
- Eased regulatory compliance.
Versa’s Sovereign SASE adds a third option for deploying the VersaONE Universal SASE platform:
- As-a-service, delivered via shared gateways in Versa’s global SASE fabric, with over 90 global PoPs.
- Private, via customer-dedicated gateways within Versa’s global SASE fabric.
- (NEW) Sovereign, via dedicated gateways in customer infrastructure, under customer management and control, completely air-gapped.
VersaONE’s converged security and networking capabilities are uniquely delivered in a single software stack, independent of the deployment model.
Sovereign SASE is intended for organizations operating in regulated industries or operating critical infrastructure that require high levels of protection, with the ability to deploy a cutting-edge “air-gapped” infrastructure model that promotes unmatched security.
Over the past two years, Sovereign SASE has been deployed by organizations in the defense, financial services, maritime, energy and retail sector. Today marks its general availability for all organizations from Versa’s partner network and directly from Versa.
“Versa Sovereign SASE delivers a game-changing deployment model that combines an industry-leading security and networking platform with the deployment flexibility to meet the most demanding regulatory and operational requirements of any business,” said Anuj Dutia, Versa’s VP of SASE solutions and services.
Sovereign SASE also empowers telcos and MSPs to modernize their service portfolio with tailored networking and security services, deployed in their own infrastructure. By leveraging existing network and computing assets, SPs can deploy Versa Sovereign SASE with full operational control over critical aspects such as data processing, residency, branding, change management and failover. This level of control helps providers reduce operational risk, meet local compliance requirements, lower cost and build a more resilient, innovative, customer-first service portfolio.
Sovereign SASE is available as part of the VersaONE Universal SASE platform.
