MUMBAI, India , June 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Tata Communications today
announced the launch of its Unified/ Single-Vendor Hosted Secure
Access Service Edge (SASE) for global enterprises. In partnership
with Versa Networks, a leader in AI-powered Unified SASE, Tata
Communications Hosted SASE, converges software-defined wide
area networks (SD-WAN) and secure service edge (SSE) capabilities
in a single pass technology enabling future ready businesses to
fully harness the power and potential of cloud-based environments
through exceptional performance, zero-trust security, ease of use,
and cost effectiveness.
Hosted and managed end-to-end by Tata Communications, the
solution offers secure, scalable, and agile deployment. The
company's cross domain expertise across network, security and
cloud, delivers a seamless operational management and integration
with existing systems for enterprises, ensuring robust support
throughout their journey.
As enterprises increasingly adopt hybrid working, SD-WAN and a
digital-first approach, their distributed network architecture
increases vulnerability to cyberattacks, and hence the need for
robust SSE solutions. A study commissioned by Tata Communications
with Omdia identified that secure remote working was the top driver
(49%) for adopting SASE solutions in global businesses, followed
closely by simplified and integrated security models (43%).
Furthermore, when implementing SASE, nearly half of businesses
cited siloed security and networks teams as a key challenge.
Tata Communications Hosted SASE is uniquely positioned to
address these challenges. The company is harnessing its globally
distributed network for delivering Hosted SASE ensuring carrier
grade connectivity and superior performance. It also offers
advanced detection and real-time protection via a cyber threat
intelligence platform that generates insights by aggregating data
from Tata Communications' network and other leading industry
sources.
"Our customers operate in a hyperconnected environment, so it is
vital that they are able to access data anytime anywhere without
compromising on security or user experience," said Srinivasan
CR, Executive Vice President-Cloud and Cybersecurity
Services & Chief Digital Officer, Tata
Communications. "Our Hosted SASE solution powers global
businesses with secure communication and collaboration weaving all
of their data and applications into a single digital fabric that
enables end-to-end control and visibility."
Tata Communications Hosted SASE's single pass technology ensures
unified visibility and control of network traffic along with
actionable insights to optimize network performance. This helps
enterprises to avoid complexities and delays in managing an
ever-growing stack of point solutions. Furthermore, they can also
improve their return on investment — with Tata Communications
Hosted SASE, the cost of ownership is estimated to be nearly 40%
lower than deploying point solutions.
"As workforces become increasingly hybrid, there has never been
a more important time to deliver something radically different, as
every customer is unique and needs flexibility when determining how
a SASE architecture fits into their environment. With the
Hosted SASE, Tata Communications has set a new standard for
enterprise security and connectivity for enterprises," said
Mouli S, SVP & CTO, Hinduja Global Solutions.
"We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with Tata
Communications," said Kelly
Ahuja, CEO, Versa
Networks. "Their Hosted SASE offering will help
enterprises drive business transformation while enhancing security
posture and providing a better user-to-app experience. Delivering
this via a single platform and fully leveraging their global
network footprint allows Tata Communications to create
differentiation through data sovereignty and regulatory
compliance."
"Remote working, connectivity to clouds and collaboration are
key enterprise considerations. But each comes with security risks.
SASE helps simplify and integrate enterprise security models,"
said Brian Washburn,
Research Director, Omdia. "Tata Communications' Hosted SASE
solution marks a first for its type of implementation globally,
combining the provider's high-performance global network with
enhanced security for enterprises to connect, communicate and
collaborate more safely."
