Key Takeaways

Versa has announced its recognition in the GigaOm Radar Report for SD-WAN Solutions. The report, evaluating 31 vendors, categorized Versa's Secure SD-WAN as a Leader and Outperformer for the second year in a row. The recognition stemmed from the product's performance in categories that include integrated security features and capabilities across various network types.

In addition to accolades in the SD-WAN report, Versa received similar recognition in GigaOm's recent Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) reports. The firm scored five stars in key areas such as Integrated ZTNA and Intent-based Networking, securing the highest score in Business Criteria Comparison among vendors.

Meanwhile, Netskope addressed the limitations of legacy access systems through a recent vendor blog. The firm emphasized the need for Modern Secure Access that adapts to hybrid and IoT-driven environments. The Universal ZTNA approach consolidates access controls across multiple user and device types, providing organizations with consistent access and effective policy enforcement.

Netskope's Universal ZTNA solution aims to unify secure access within diverse enterprise landscapes, maintaining a strong user experience while integrating robust security measures. This strategic shift highlights the importance of evolving access management to meet current operational realities effectively.
