Tata Communications Hosted SASE redefines next-gen networking & security
Tata
Communications announced the launch of its Unified/ Single-Vendor Hosted Secure
Access Service Edge (SASE) for global enterprises. In partnership with Versa
Networks, a leader in AI-powered Unified SASE, Tata Communications Hosted SASE,
converges software-defined wide area networks (SD-WAN) and secure service edge
(SSE) capabilities in a single pass technology enabling future ready businesses
to fully harness the power and potential of cloud-based environments through
exceptional performance, zero-trust security, ease of use, and cost
effectiveness.
Hosted
and managed end-to-end by Tata Communications, the solution offers secure,
scalable, and agile deployment. The company’s cross domain expertise across
network, security and cloud, delivers a seamless operational management and
integration with existing systems for enterprises, ensuring robust support
throughout their journey. As enterprises increasingly adopt hybrid working,
SD-WAN and a digital-first approach, their distributed network architecture
increases vulnerability to cyberattacks, and hence the need for robust SSE
solutions.
A study commissioned by Tata Communications
with Omdia identified that secure remote working was the top driver (49%) for
adopting SASE solutions in global businesses, followed closely by simplified
and integrated security models (43%). Furthermore, when implementing SASE,
nearly half of businesses cited siloed security and networks teams as a key
challenge.Tata Communications Hosted SASE is uniquely positioned to address
these challenges. The company is harnessing its globally distributed network
for delivering Hosted SASE ensuring carrier grade connectivity and superior
performance. It also offers advanced detection and real-time protection via a
cyber threat intelligence platform that generates insights by aggregating data
from Tata Communications’ network and other leading industry sources.
“Our
customers operate in a hyperconnected environment, so it is vital that they are
able to access data anytime anywhere without compromising on security or user
experience,” said Srinivasan CR, Executive Vice President-Cloud and
Cybersecurity Services & Chief Digital Officer, Tata Communications. “Our
Hosted SASE solution powers global businesses with secure communication and
collaboration weaving all of their data and applications into a single digital
fabric that enables end-to-end control and visibility.”Tata Communications
Hosted SASE’s single pass technology ensures unified visibility and control of
network traffic along with actionable insights to optimize network performance.
This helps enterprises to avoid complexities and delays in managing an
ever-growing stack of point solutions. Furthermore, they can also improve their
return on investment — with Tata Communications Hosted SASE, the cost of
ownership is estimated to be nearly 40% lower than deploying point solutions.“As
workforces become increasingly hybrid, there has never been a more important
time to deliver something radically different, as every customer is unique and
needs flexibility when determining how a SASE architecture fits into their
environment. With the Hosted SASE, Tata Communications has set a new standard
for enterprise security and connectivity for enterprises,” said Mouli S, SVP
& CTO, Hinduja Global Solutions.“We are thrilled to deepen our partnership
with Tata Communications,” said Kelly Ahuja, CEO, Versa Networks.
“Their
Hosted SASE offering will help enterprises drive business transformation while
enhancing security posture and providing a better user-to-app experience.
Delivering this via a single platform and fully leveraging their global network
footprint allows Tata Communications to create differentiation through data
sovereignty and regulatory compliance. ”“Remote working, connectivity to clouds
and collaboration are key enterprise considerations. But each comes with
security risks. SASE helps simplify and integrate enterprise security models,”
said Brian Washburn, Research Director, Omdia. “Tata Communications’ Hosted
SASE solution marks a first for its type of implementation globally, combining
the provider’s high-performance global network with enhanced security for
enterprises to connect, communicate and collaborate more safely.”
