Cloudbrink’s Take: Why SASE Isn’t Enough for Remote Work Performance and What Actually Works
As remote and hybrid work continue to redefine the modern workplace, companies are scrambling to secure off-site access while maintaining performance. Over 50% of companies now support hybrid work models, but traditional Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions are buckling under the pressure of today's network demands. The result? Lagging applications, video glitches, high costs, and frustrated IT teams.
, a leader in cloud networking innovation, is tackling these issues head-on with a revolutionary edge-native approach that redefines what high-performance secure access should look like for distributed teams. This article reviews the shortcomings of traditional SASE in optimizing remote work experiences and the options for reliable solutions to help alleviate these problems.
Traditional SASE: Built for Branches, Not for Remote Work
SASE was designed for a world where remote meant "another office." But today’s employees log in from apartments, airports, cafes, and co-working spaces, often from multiple devices. This decentralized reality has exposed the limitations of traditional SASE.
Remote workers often struggle with:
IT teams are overwhelmed. They’re tasked with maintaining security across countless network conditions many of which they can’t even see.
The Hidden Costs of Traditional SASE
Many organizations attempt to resolve performance issues by upgrading hardware. Over half of IT professionals admit to using this as a go-to solution. Yet, these upgrades rarely address the root causes such as inefficient bandwidth use, poor application optimization, and lack of real-time visibility.
Only 19% of IT teams report having full visibility into their systems leaving blind spots where performance bottlenecks hide. loss continue to plague end users. U.S. packet loss averages 1.8%, far above the 0.005% goal for peak performance.
