The Next Step in Network Evolution

Introducing SASE for the Channel

In today's market, selling connectivity alone no longer differentiates your business. The rise of Cloud-first strategies, hybrid workforces, and ever-expanding security risks has changed what customers expect from their IT partners. They're no longer just buying circuits; they're looking for end-to-end solutions that keep their users connected securely and consistently, wherever they work.

For Channel partners, this shift represents a challenge but also a major opportunity. As connectivity becomes increasingly commoditised, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) offers a natural evolution - a value-rich, scalable solution that transforms how customers connect and protect their environments, and how partners generate recurring revenue.

What is SASE?

SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) brings together networking and security into a single, Cloud-based platform. It combines technologies like SD-WAN, zero trust access, and secure web gateways to deliver secure, high-performance connectivity for users - wherever they work.

In short, it's a smarter, simpler way to connect and protect modern businesses, replacing multiple point solutions with one integrated, scalable service.

Why Add SASE to Your Portfolio

As a Channel partner, your role is evolving from connectivity provider to trusted advisor, guiding customers through digital transformation. SASE is a key part of that journey, offering both technical relevance and commercial advantage.

Here's why it deserves your attention:

  • The end of pure connectivity selling. Margins on circuits alone continue to tighten. SASE enables you to build on that foundation with a fully managed, higher-value proposition.
  • Upsell and cross-sell opportunities. From SD-WAN to managed security and Cloud migration, SASE positions you to expand your footprint within each customer environment.
  • Recurring revenue growth. With flexible, subscription-based models, partners can move away from one-off sales towards sustainable monthly income streams.
  • Customer stickiness. A fully managed SASE solution creates long-term engagement through ongoing monitoring, updates, and optimisation.
  • Futureproof relevance. As customers adopt hybrid work and multi-cloud strategies, SASE ensures you remain central to their infrastructure plans.


Simply put, SASE is how partners evolve from selling connectivity to delivering full-scale digital transformation.

The cyber threat landscape is more treacherous than ever before, and the years ahead will only bring new challenges, with the global cost of attacks predicted to hit $10.2 trillion by 2025[1]. From global leaders to the latest start-ups, all organisations must not only be aware of the range of potential attack vectors utilised by bad actors, but accept that with the ever-growing scale, complexity, and aggressiveness of attacks, a breach is inevitable.

The demand for highly secure, high-performance connectivity is at an all-time high. With organisations across the public and private sectors having largely embraced hybrid working, with their employees connecting, communicating, and collaborating from virtually anywhere. As a result, technology providers are increasingly challenged to deliver enterprise-grade connectivity that not only provides the performance and availability their customers have come to expect, but provides leading-edge cyber security, suitable for highly dispersed end users, and seamless access to the Cloud-based applications that many organisations depend on.
