AT&T Cybersecurity and Cisco Collaborate on Managed SASE Solution

AT&T is expanding its global, managed Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) portfolio to include a new offering in conjunction with Cisco.

The new offering is a converged network and security management solution that includes SD-WAN technology and security capabilities backed by policy design and configuration, and 24/7 network management.

“AT&T SASE with Cisco” enables the network to be optimized on a site-by-site basis. It features dynamic routing across multiple wide area network connections. Centralized visibility allows organizations to control access for any device, connecting from any network. The solution also provides identity-based permissions to validate the health of devices for every session.
