Datto Secure Edge Now Available for iOS – SASE for a Mobile Workforce
From airport lounges to coffee shops, employees work from virtually anywhere — and they expect secure, seamless access to business tools wherever they go. However, with increased mobility comes increased risk. Traditional VPNs can’t keep up with today’s fast-moving, cloud-first environments. Old-fashioned security perimeters are disappearing, and traditional methods of protecting data and access are no longer effective. That’s where a modern SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) solution and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) framework comes in.
Why mobile security needs SASE + ZTNA
The mobile device has become the modern endpoint, and just like desktops and laptops, it needs protection that follows the user, not the network. This evolution calls for a new security approach.
SASE is a modern, cloud-based solution that helps to secure and connect users to their network — no matter where they are working from. It combines networking and security into one platform, making it ideal for mobile and remote workforces. With SASE, your clients get fast, secure access to the resources they need, whether they’re in the office, at home, or on the go.
ZTNA is a security framework that says “never trust, always verify.” Instead of giving users full access to the network like a VPN, ZTNA only allows access to specific apps or services — and only after checking who the user is and whether their device is secure.
A SASE approach ensures traffic is inspected and secured regardless of location, while ZTNA enforces least-privilege access based on identity, posture and context. Together, they reduce attack surfaces and deliver reliable, secure connections for remote and hybrid users — without the complexity or lag of legacy solutions.
