Why is it that over 90% of enterprises tell me that they expect to spend more on security over the next three years, and almost 60% say they expect to spend less on networking? We obviously think that network technology is getting more efficient, more competitive. Why isn\u2019t that the case for security? The short answer is that enterprises have been chasing acronyms and not solutions.<\/p>\n

Acronym-chasing comes about because by nature, security is hard to plan for. The average network expert finds out there\u2019s an issue because some higher-up reads or hears about a breach. Maybe they do a quick search, and they find out that what they really need is SASE<\/a>. Or maybe they need SSE, which we\u2019re told is SASE without SD-WAN<\/a>. In any event, what happens is that there\u2019s pressure to add this new thing on, and that creates another layer of protection…maybe.  Complication and cost? Surely.<\/p>\n
