SASE Testing: Exploring Next Generation Network Defense
eBooks
The risk of major cyberattacks against private- and public sector organizations has never been greater. With many factors contributing to the ever-increasing sophistication, speed and scale of cyberattacks worldwide, the defenses of yesterday are no longer fit for purpose.
A rapidly growing digital economy, coupled with the expanding use of AI by threat actors and a shortage of skilled cybersecurity experts are all chinks in the proverbial armor of the data center – a facility that now houses almost every facet of our everyday lives.
Compounding the issue, an increased use of cloud services, the rise of remote and hybrid work, and the pressing need to apply Zero Trust (ZT) principles is fueling explosive demand for Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) technologies and services. This framework solves many of today’s pain points, by protecting users, devices, and applications at scale, regardless of their location.
AI driven traffic, zero trust requirements, and cloud first architectures are reshaping how organizations must validate SASE performance and security. Emerging threats and expanding attack surfaces demand rigorous, real world testing to ensure resilience at scale. Keysight’s CyPerf delivers this assurance by validating policy enforcement, performance, and security accuracy under authentic, high volume conditions.
This eBook explores why independent SASE testing is now imperative across modern IT environments, with practical tips on execution, and why the AI era is redefining how we think about – and act on – validation. The next-generation of network defense is here.
