CyberRatings.org collaborates on SASE evaluation toolkit

CyberRatings.org has collaborated with SDxCentral and Decision Insights to introduce a toolkit designed to streamline the evaluation of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions. This toolkit enables IT buyers to more effectively navigate the complexities involved in selecting suitable SASE solutions, which combine multiple technologies such as Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) and Zero Trust principles.

Toolkit Features

The RFP toolkit includes a vendor response spreadsheet along with guidance materials that specify essential selection criteria. This collaborative effort aims to provide enterprise buyers with valuable resources for informed decision-making, highlighting the need for independent validation of SASE solutions based on solid data.

Importance of Independent Testing

An overview also highlights the role of independent testing in evaluating SASE vendors. Firms like Keysight Technologies and CyberRatings are recognized for offering unbiased assessments to assist organizations in benchmarking their solutions against practical standards. This independent testing process facilitates a comprehensive comparison and validation of SASE solutions, reducing risks tied to vendor assertions while simplifying the selection process.

This blog signals a coordinated initiative to enhance the procurement strategy of SASE solutions, ensuring enterprises are equipped with the necessary tools for effective selection.
