The Helios Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution is a cloud computing service that delivers security and wide area network (WAN) capabilities directly to the source of connection. SASE combines network and security functions into a single cloud service, extending security and networking capabilities beyond their typical availability.
With SASE using a cloud-first and thin edge design, deployment is quick and easy. Zero touch and self-service provisioning enables users and locations to be onboarded in minutes, anywhere in the world, and benefit from the cloud-delivered security and optimization capabilities.
Helios SASE provides full visibility and control across, WAN, Internet, and Cloud. Full traffic coverage ensures corporate policies apply to all edges, regardless of source and destination.
A cloud-native service, SASE automatically maintains optimal security posture against emerging threats, recovers from service infrastructure disruption to ensure service continuity, and can extend and scale to accommodate massive traffic loads and growing customer geographical footprints.
cloud-native architecture converges SD-WAN, a global private backbone, a full network security stack, and seamless support for cloud resources and mobile devices.
Customers easily connect physical locations, cloud resources, and mobile users to Helios SASE Cloud, and IT teams immediately benefit from the agility of a unified network and security service managed by experts.
User identity form the basis for risk-based access policies that also consider the user’s device posture, the sensitivity of the data or application being accessed, and the desired action. The policy seamlessly follows the user in the office, on the road, and at home to ensure consistent enforcement everywhere.
Helios SASE delivers consistent security and optimization to any enterprise edge including on-premises and cloud data centers, branch offices, and down to a single user or device.

The SASE architecture leverages key cloud capabilities including elasticity and scalability. This provides a platform that instantly adapts to emerging business needs, such as connecting a remote workforce with just a click of a button; or provisioning new resources easily for quick global expansion.

SASE’s globally distributed PoPs ensure that all networking and security capabilities are available everywhere, delivering the best possible experience to all edges.
Managing an ever-growing pile of point solutions is becoming too complex, too slow. One of the SASE benefits is that, management becomes simple via a single-pane-of-glass that provides control across an entire enterprise that we manage for you.
Legacy appliances often lack critical functions such as IPS, NGFW, and SWG. Helios SASE solves this problem with a full security stack built into its underlying network infrastructure, with all edges enjoying the same level of protection from a unified policy.
A cloud-native service, SASE removes all appliance capacity concerns, enabling IT to fully protect all resources and maintain an optimal security posture.
A SASE platform can recover from failures at all levels of its architecture, ensuring an always-on service for maximum uptime.
With SASE, IT has complete visibility into the network as all WAN and Internet traffic passes through the SASE Cloud. There are no blind spots and IT is able to easily maintain control of the entire network.
SASE eliminates the need for any CAPEX purchases and in-house management and maintenance. All costs are transformed to OPEX.
SASE minimizes both visible and hidden costs:
Visible costs – SASE includes all networking and security functions, eliminating the cost of purchasing point solutions.
Hidden costs – With legacy solutions, IT is busy agonizing over how to handle the network and unintentionally slowing down business. With SASE, the burden of sizing, deploying, configuring, patching, upgrading, and maintaining multiple point solutions is removed, turning IT into a business enabler.
