I look forward to continued leadership from Versa.”

Versa SASE delivers tightly integrated services via the cloud, on-premises, or as a blended combination of both via Versa Operating System (VOS™) with a Single-Pass Parallel Processing architecture and managed through a single pane of glass. Versa began delivering SASE services such as VPN, Secure SD-WAN, Edge Compute Protection, Next-Generation Firewall, Next-Generation Firewall as a Service, Secure Web Gateway (SWG), and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) more than five years ago.

As the leader in SASE, the fastest growing security and networking category, and executing on SASE services for years, Versa is the only solution proven to deliver the industry’s leading and differentiated architecture for high performance and security. Dell’Oro Group listed Versa as the 2021 unified SASE market share leader with 84-percent market share in its 4Q21 Network Security Quarterly Report. Gartner has identified Versa SASE as having the most SASE components out of all 56 vendors Gartner evaluated. Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) also found that Versa SASE has the most SASE supported functions, as published in its industry report.

“It is rewarding to win another award for Versa SASE, this time being named this year’s INTERNET TELEPHONY Product of the Year,” said Michael Wood, Chief Marketing Officer for Versa Networks. “Versa SASE has earned its spot as the industry leader by delivering unique integration of networking and security SASE services via the cloud or, if customers prefer, delivered on-premises or as a blended combination of both.
