The MEF’s prime objective of defining SASE instantly strengthens SASE’s prospects in quickly becoming a widely accepted, game-changing service by avoiding the pitfalls that have stymied other promising technologies and services due in good part to their lack of robust standards backing. The establishment of SASE standards are essential to providing certification testing, ensuring interoperability across the digital ecosystem and enabling service providers to avoid or minimize reliance on expensive proprietary solutions.
