Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

Simplify networking and security with SASE, designed and delivered end-to-end by Interactive. Modernise your network with frictionless, secure-by-design connectivity built for the way teams work today, and future-proofed to meet tomorrow’s digital demands.

Streamline IT

Hybrid teams, SaaS sprawl, and rising cyber risk have stretched old models like VPNs and perimeter firewalls to their limits. SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) combines networking and security into one cloud-delivered framework. For employees, it means fast, reliable access from anywhere. For IT teams, it means tighter, more consistent controls.

SASE Architecture: What’s inside SASE?

SASE Secure Access Service Edge architecture

SASE combines SD-WAN with cloud-delivered security controls: Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS). So, you manage one policy and get one source of truth across web, SaaS, and private apps. Fewer agents, fewer consoles, more visibility and most importantly: a better user experience.

Benefits

SASE delivers measurable gains in network performance, security and simplicity.

Frictionless access that doesn’t compromise on security. Replace brittle VPNs with per-app Zero Trust access.
Full traffic observability across cloud, SaaS, cloud, or the broader network, so you can identify and address issues before they impact users.
Improve SaaS performance (Microsoft 365, Teams/Zoom, Salesforce) through edge decisions and uptime optimisation.
Govern AI and SaaS use with DLP/CASB/ZTNA guardrails that prevent data loss.
Consolidate tools and costs: one management plane, fewer consoles, and clearer accountability.
Prove control effectiveness with unified logs and dashboards.

Two Approaches. Same Great Outcome

SASE adoption doesn’t need to be an all-or-nothing decision.

SASE is modular and flexible. It meets your organisation where it’s at, adapting to your pace and priorities.

Modular adoption

Start with the components you need today and add others later. For example, you might begin with network security, then layer on Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Purview, or other capabilities as your requirements evolve.

Wherever you are in your journey, Interactive can help with whatever you need, with an implementation tailored your priorities and maturity.

Full-stack adoption

Implement the complete SASE framework from day one. In this model, everything is delivered upfront, and there’s no need for additional purchases down the line.

We make SASE practical, end to end. Here’s how

Our Six-step implementation framework

Assess & plan

Readiness review mapped to your risks and obligations (e.g., Zero Trust priorities, data protection, operational KPIs).

Design the fabric

SD-WAN + SSE/ZTNA design that aligns identity, device posture, and data controls; policy consolidation from day one.

Deploy policies & configs

Implement the right configurations and SASE security policies across SaaS, network, and endpoints to ensure consistent, compliant access and protection

Pilot fast, prove outcomes

Contained rollout with three non-negotiables: better experience, reduced risk, simpler ops, then scale.

Operate & optimise 24×7

Managed SASE as a Service, with continuous tuning, incident triage, disaster recovery testing, and executive-level reporting.

Ongoing management

Continuous policy and configuration updates, monitoring, reporting, and compliance oversight keep SASE effective and aligned with your organisation’s needs.

Technology foundations we work with

Network

SD-WAN as the transport foundation for SASE.

Security

SWG, CASB, ZTNA, FWaaS, with MDR and DLP integrated into the operating model.

Vendors

We partner with leading SASE vendors like Fortinet Unified SASE to deliver AI-powered security, integrated data lakes, and streamlined performance across cloud and branch environments.

Why Interactive?

We don’t just install SASE. We turn it into a unified operating model, designed around your outcomes, measured by employee experience, and run 24×7.

Framework-First

Kickstart SASE transformation by defining business outcomes. Determine who should access what, from where, and on which device.
Single operating model

One policy across web, SaaS, and private apps. Unified telemetry for faster investigations and audit readiness.
User experience optimisation

Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) and edge enforcement reduce hair-pinning and latency issues.
End-to-end security

We wrap SASE with MDR/SIEM and DR testing, so smaller teams don’t need 15 vendors and five consoles.
Tech stack review and consolidation

Activate existing licenses, retire duplicates, and simplify your SASE security architecture without over-buying.
