[Zero Trust](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/tag/zero-trust/?ts=markdown)

The promise of [secure access service edge (SASE)](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/what-is-sase) has always been simple yet transformative: unify networking and security into a single, cloud-delivered service. It's a vision that ensures zero trust inspection for every user, every connection and every application, regardless of location.

But for today's most complex hybrid enterprises, a question remains: What happens when the cloud, where inspection happens, is simply too far away?

For massive manufacturing campuses, high-density data centers and sprawling mission-critical branch offices, relying solely on distant cloud points of presence (PoPs) can introduce physical limitations that no software can fully overcome. When milliseconds matter and bandwidth usage surges, the "last mile" becomes the longest mile.

To address this, Palo Alto Networks has introduced its new SASE Private Location, part of the latest release of[Prisma Access 6.1](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/sase/achieve-true-zero-trust-and-peak-performance-with-prisma-access-6-1/). We are rewriting the rules of hybrid connectivity by extending the full architecture of our SASE platform directly into your environment. It is the bridge between the agility of the cloud and the reliability of on-premises infrastructure.

Here is how SASE Private Location solves the three biggest challenges facing modern hybrid networks.

# **1. Unleash Throughput in High-Density Environments**

In the era of big data and hyperconnectivity, traditional bandwidth limits are a bottleneck you cannot afford to have. Whether it is a campus of thousands or a data center replicating massive datasets, backhauling or sending all that traffic to the cloud for inspection can choke your network performance.

SASE Private Location keeps users, data and inspection at the local PoP where it is deployed, not the other way around. Designed to support up to 40,000 users per SASE Private Location, it allows you to process massive volumes of traffic locally. You get the rigorous security inspection you need without the latency penalty of backhauling high-volume traffic to the cloud.

# **2. Eliminate Latency for Real-Time Performance**

For sensitive applications like financial trading platforms, healthcare systems or manufacturing floor controls, speed isn't just a metric; it's a requirement. The traditional SASE model sometimes requires "hairpinning" traffic: sending it from your office to the cloud for security checks, only to send it right back to a server in the same building.

SASE Private Location ends the hairpin. By placing the SASE stack "inside your doors," local traffic stays local. Your users gain ultra-low-latency access to their most critical applications, ensuring a seamless experience that keeps productivity high while IT maintains full visibility and control.

# **3. Guarantee Continuity When the Unexpected Happens**

In a world of uncertainty, resilience is the ultimate currency. While the cloud is incredibly reliable, reliance on external connectivity always carries a risk. What happens to your security posture if the connection to the cloud goes down?

SASE Private Location acts as your ultimate insurance policy. It provides robust business continuity planning (BCP) capabilities, ensuring your connectivity and security policies remain enforced even during a broader cloud outage or an ISP failure. Your business keeps running, your data stays secure, and your operations remain resilient, no matter what happens outside your walls.

# **The Best of Both Worlds with Local Security and Cloud Control**

The fundamental shift to SASE is about ensuring high-performance networking and zero trust security across your entire environment, regardless of where your users or applications reside. With SASE Private Location, you no longer have to compromise between the unified, centralized management you get from the cloud and the sheer performance and resilience of on-premises hardware.

Instead, you gain the complete, cloud-managed platform you rely on, expertly tailored to meet the specific, high-demand needs of your most mission-critical locations. This ensures your networking and security are delivered locally without compromising your security.
