SASE Hot Take with Andrew Wertkin & Jim Williams

Key Takeaways

DNS is a foundational component of network infrastructure required to support SASE convergence models.
Effective SASE implementations depend on reliable and secure DNS to function correctly across complex environments.
DNS resolution plays a critical role in enforcing access and security policies within SASE architectures.
Without robust DNS services, SASE technologies cannot adequately address the complexity of modern distributed networks.

Gartner’s SASE convergence model has been creating quite a buzz in the industry.

But what does it DNS have to do with it?

Turns out, DNS is a pivotal piece of critical infrastructure that is needed for SASE technologies to be effective in the face of all this complexity.
