Networks are at the heart of the critical national infrastructure services and solutions that Telent provide across the UK and Ireland. Whether wired or wireless, these solutions all demand high performance networks that deliver speed, capacity and reliability against stringent security requirements. However, the network application environments are very diverse, frequently covering campus environments for universities and large scale operational sites such as the Hinkley Point C nuclear site. Other network solutions span multiple locations to connect operational assets such as the 163 remote radio sites around the UK’s coast for the Maritime & Coastguard Agency or the 4,400 mile National Roads Telecommunication Services that connect the strategic road network for National Highways.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a framework that provides the capability to offer security in a digitised world. In today’s challenging IT environments, data is no longer held centrally and users no longer work in a uniform manner but need access to data from any device, any location. With data services becoming more cloud centric and applications delivered through “as a Service” models, traditional security mechanisms no longer deliver the level of security and control needed. SASE is the convergence of wide area networking, or WAN, and network security services into a single, cloud-delivered service model.

SASE capabilities are delivered as a service based upon the identity of the entity, real-time context, enterprise security/compliance policies and continuous assessment of risk/trust throughout the sessions. Identities of entities can be associated with people, groups of people, locations, devices, applications, services, IoT systems or edge computing locations.
