The internet is the ‘new’ corporate network, and Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are well-positioned to enable their clients’ ongoing digital transformations. The emergence of 5G and the standardisation of work from anywhere are only reinforcing this shift. CSPs have the opportunity to provide the secure, efficient, and scalable networking solutions their clients require.
Enter Harmony SASE, a game-changing platform that enables CSPs to deliver a Secure Network-as-a-Service (NaaS), helping them grow revenue while addressing their customers’ pressing network security challenges.
The modern business network
Remote work and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies are dissolving the traditional network perimeter. Employees now connect from various locations, accessing sensitive data and applications from both managed and unmanaged devices. This expands the potential attack surface, making it imperative for CSPs to offer robust security solutions.
Harmony SASE empowers CSPs to provide a differentiated and profitable NaaS offering that helps clients leave behind the limitations of legacy solutions. By leveraging a cloud-native architecture, CSPs can ensure their clients benefit from automated, policy-driven security that protects against unauthorised access, malware, and data breaches.
Key use cases for CSPs
CSPs can utilise Harmony SASE to address a variety of their clients’ security challenges:
Zero trust remote access: Harmony SASE enables zero trust access to on-premises and cloud workloads, ensuring that only authorised users can connect to critical resources.
Threat prevention: By blocking internet-borne malware and malicious websites, CSPs can safeguard their clients from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
Secure SaaS access: With many organisations relying on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, secure access becomes crucial. Harmony SASE provides a secure framework for users to engage with these applications without compromising security.
Enhanced branch connectivity: Leveraging a full-mesh network, CSPs can facilitate seamless interconnectivity between branches, enhancing collaboration and efficiency.
Granular access control: Harmony SASE allows CSPs to implement granular controls for infrastructure resources, ensuring that access is based on user roles and requirements.
Maximising revenue and efficiency
One of the standout features of Harmony SASE is its scalability. CSPs can offer managed NaaS solutions without the overhead of traditional hardware investments, which translates to real cost savings for clients. This cloud-based approach not only maximises profit margins but also creates recurring revenue opportunities through a SaaS-based subscription model.
Furthermore, the pay-as-you-go pricing structure offers flexibility, allowing clients to scale their networking and security solutions as their business grows. This consumption-based model makes it easier for CSPs to manage client relationships and adapt to their evolving needs.
