FAQs
Lumen SASE offers the convergence of networking and security functions in a cloud-first unified solution with a focus on the digital experience and built on the world-class Lumen Platform.
The VMware SASE Platform™ is the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform that converges industry-leading cloud networking and cloud security to deliver flexibility, agility, security and scale for enterprises of all sizes. The VMware SASE Platform is offered as a Service, helping offload IT staff from deploying and maintaining WAN/security and designed to save enterprises operational costs.
There are two components of the VMware SASE Platform:
- VMware SD-WAN™
- VMware Cloud Web Security
VMware runs SASE services inside its own worldwide points of presence (PoP). Component services include VMware SD-WAN and VMware Cloud Web Security.
VMware SASE services can be ordered using the Lumen SASE Solutions marketplace and Lumen SASE Manager experience. Services can always be purchased by contacting our Lumen sales team.
VMware SD-WAN provides branch office and remote users behind an edge device with the ability to:
- Prioritize business-critical traffic.
- Mitigate network issues for best application performance.
- Deliver traffic to a network of VMware SD-WAN Gateways for access to SaaS, IaaS and data center applications.
Once user traffic optimized with VMware SD-WAN arrives at the PoP, additional services from other SASE services can be applied to that traffic for security checks.
Yes. Traffic can come into the VMware SASE PoP through VMware SD-WAN using a VMware SD-WAN Edge. Once the traffic is inside the PoP, it can be sent to VMware Cloud Web Security for further inspection.
Cloud Web Security is offered using the centralized portal for managing security and networking policies. This is made possible using the VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator. For example, security policy can be configured in the Orchestrator UI and applied to the network segment as a single workflow. This approach eliminates any mismatch between security and networking policies. NetOps, SecOps, CSO, CIO and Compliance teams can get common view of network performance and security posture.
The introduction of VMware Cloud Web Security will not require any hardware upgrades to existing VMware SD-WAN Edge deployments.
VMware Cloud Web Security will include the following functionalities that will be delivered in phases:
- Secure web gateway (SWG): URL filtering, advanced antimalware with file hash check, cloud sand box, SSL inspection
- Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) visibility and control
- Data loss prevention (DLP) visibility and control
- Remote browser isolation (RBI)
