Broadcom has delivered on its 2023 teaser of integration between VMware’s SD-WAN and Symantec’s Security Service Edge, by today debuting the “VMware VeloCloud SASE, Secured by Symantec” at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The Symantec Security Service Edge is already classified as a SASE, or Secure Access Service Edge – a term coined by analyst firm Gartner, which defines it as a “converged network and security as a service capabilities, including software-defined WAN, secure web gateway, cloud access security broker, next-generation firewall, and zero trust network access.” VMware also offered its own SASE, but that offering was tuned to the needs of its Workspace ONE end user compute suite. More on that later.
