BYOS vs. SASE
A comparison between BYOS and SASE.
Why is BYOS better than a SASE?
- SASE depends on (and is controlled by) the OS.
- By the time SASE engages, the attack is already inside the endpoint.
- SASE is not quite compatible with legacy and unmanaged devices.
- SASE will stop some endpoint attacks successfully, but they will still be fooled by network attacks.
- SASE is heavily dependent on the cloud, while BYOS provides decentralized protection.
What can SASE do that BYOS can't?
- Save you money on hardware.
- Provide protection on the application layer (phishing, malware, DLP) although it will be heavy on resource consumption and depend on the end-user's device reaching the cloud.
