Palo Alto Networks has been recognized as the sole Leader in the Gartner\u00ae Magic Quadrant\u2122 for Single-Vendor SASE.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, Palo Alto Networks\u00ae was recognized as the only<\/em> Leader in the inaugural 2023 Gartner\u00ae Magic Quadrant\u2122 for Single-Vendor SASE. We were also positioned highest and furthest in both the ability to execute and completeness of vision. We believe this is an extraordinary achievement and testament to the role we have played in making the vision of SASE a reality for our customers.<\/p>\n

<\/a>SASE Is the Way Forward<\/h2>\n

As organizations worldwide adopt cloud and hybrid work at an unprecedented pace, SASE has become a critical component of their transformation efforts. SASE is the convergence of software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) and security delivered as a massively distributed cloud service. Our customers tell us they are looking to consolidate these capabilities into a unified solution. In fact, according to the Gartner 2022 Roadmap for SASE Convergence report<\/a>, by 2025, 80% of enterprises<\/strong> will have adopted a strategy to unify web, cloud services and private application access using a SASE and SSE architecture, up from 20% in 2021.<\/p>\n

As organizations accelerate their adoption of SASE<\/a>, the key question emerging is around the right approach for effective implementation. Traditionally companies have relied on a mix-and-match approach with point products from multiple vendors. At Palo Alto Networks, we strongly believe a unified, single-vendor approach is the best way for organizations to optimize their security and operational outcomes.<\/p>\n

Gartner defines single-vendor SASE offerings as those that deliver multiple converged network and security as a service capabilities, such as software-defined WAN (SD-WAN), secure web gateway (SWG), cloud access security broker (CASB), network firewalling and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). These offerings use a cloud-centric architecture and are delivered by one vendor. Palo Alto Networks, we believe, is uniquely positioned in this space, delivering Prisma\u00ae SASE<\/a> as a unified solution with these capabilities, along with Autonomous Digital Experience Management (ADEM)<\/a> that provides observability and AIOps.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Single Vendor SASE vs. Mix-and-Match SASE<\/h2>\n

There are three major benefits of single vendor SASE that a mix-and-match approach cannot deliver:<\/p>\n
