# Best Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platforms - Page 2

*By [Lauren Worth](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/lauren-worth)*


Secure access service edge (SASE) is a cybersecurity architecture built to tackle modern computing environments. Traditionally, companies utilize numerous point solutions to secure access to networks and connections and manage identities. With SASE platforms, companies can combine the functionality of secure application and network access through a software-defined, cloud-native solution.

SASE platforms can be delivered as a single software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering or a collection of integrated security solutions flexibly designed to meet the unique needs of modern enterprises.

These platforms emerged as the next generation of [secure web gateways](https://www.g2.com/categories/secure-web-gateways) and [cloud access security broker (CASB) software](https://www.g2.com/categories/cloud-access-security-broker-casb). New cloud-native solutions began to emerge to secure access across environments. Eventually, these edge security products were equipped with [zero-trust networking](https://www.g2.com/categories/zero-trust-networking), risk-based identity management, and a secure [software-defined perimeter (SDP)](https://www.g2.com/categories/software-defined-perimeter-sdp).

To qualify for inclusion in the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) category, a product or product suite must:

- Provide a single access point for SaaS applications, web browsers, and networks
- Centrally manage policies and risks across hybrid environments, networks, and applications
- Provide a virtual firewall as a service
- Secure connections between end users and cloud service providers
- Protect data and connected devices from cloud-based threats and malware
- Use adaptive authentication to verify user permissions continuously
- Monitor traffic and user behavior for future inspection and analysis
