Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)Β converges network functions and securityβ―point solutions into a unified, global cloud service. SASE presents an entirely new architectural approach and is perceived by Gartner as the future of network security. SASE empowers IT to regain its rightful role as business enabler, delivering a cloud-native, adaptable network that is built for the dynamic digital business environment.
You earn 1 ISC2 CPE credit per hour of eligible Cato learning, with most courses awarding 2β3 credits based on average completion time. After you enter your ISC2 ID at the start of an eligible course, Cato automatically submits your credits to ISC2 as part of a monthly submission. No action is required on your part. Credits typically appear in your ISC2 account within a few weeks after ISC2 review and apply to any qualifying certification, including CISSP, CCSP, SSCP, and others.
To achieve Catoβs certification, you need to apply to the Cato SASE course and pass the certification exam with a minimum score of 85%. We assume you have some knowledge of cloud, networking and security. You donβt need any previous knowledge of SASE to obtain the certification.
Becoming SASE Certified may not be as easy as ABC, but itβs definitely worthwhile. With the realization that the current network architecture is simply inadequate to support the needs of the modern business, Gartner introduced SASE in 2019, predicting that βby 2024, at least 40% of enterprises will have explicit strategies to adopt SASE, up from less than 1% at year-end 2018.β And although SASE is relatively new, COVID-19 has further expedited its adoption due to the compelling need for business continuity strategies that address the explosion of remote access. In fact, according to Gartner, since June 2020 βSASE has been adopted by more than 40% of global remote workers.β
In light of Gartnerβs market estimations, a SASE certification is nice-to-have; but mostly itβs becoming a must-have, for demonstrating networking and security skills that are relevant and aligned with the industryβs direction.
As the first true SASE platform provider, we respectfully recommend getting SASE Certified by Cato. And, to back this up, hereβs some background:
Gartner defined four core requirements for a true SASE platform: Convergence, cloud-native, globally distributed, and support for all edges.Β Cato Cloud is the first complete implementation of the SASE architecture, which fits perfectly into Gartnerβs SASE framework:
In 2019 Gartner included SASE for the first time in its Hype Cycle for Enterprise Networking. In its recent 2020 reports, Gartner presented SASE in both the Hype Cycle for Network Security and Hype Cycle for Enterprise Networking. Cato was listed as a sample vendor for SASE in all these reports.
