64% of businesses are adopting or plan to adopt SASE in the next year
Global research commissioned by Versa Networks examining the adoption of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) by businesses during the lockdown revealed that the adoption of SASE has skyrocketed during the pandemic. Thirty-four percent of businesses claim to already be adopting SASE in the past year, and an additional 30% plan to do so in the next six to 12 months. However, despite this rapid uptake of SASE, the majority (69%) of IT and security professionals surveyed remain confused about its true meaning.
The research, conducted by Sapio Research across 500 security and IT decision makers working at mid to large enterprises in the US, UK, France, and Germany, revealed that 84% of businesses have accelerated their digital transformation and move to the cloud during the pandemic, and almost half (44%) of businesses anticipate their employees will continue to work remotely, either fully or part-time, once pandemic restrictions are lifted. Published today, the global digital transformation survey “Experiences and Attitudes Towards a Post-COVID Workforce” is available from Versa Networks.
