How to obtain SASE certification?
To obtain it, you must register for Cato’s SASE course and pass the certification exam with a minimum score of 85%. We assume you are familiar with the cloud, connectivity, and network security. No prior knowledge of SASE is required to obtain certification.
Why obtain SASE certification?
Being SASE certified has to be earned, but it is worth the effort. Realizing that the current network architecture simply does not meet the needs of the modern enterprise, Gartner introduced SASE in 2019, predicting that “ by 2024, at least 40% of enterprises will have explicit strategies to adopt SASE, up from less than 1% at year-end 2018 by 2024, at least 40% of companies will have clear strategies for adopting SASE compared to less than 1% at the end of 2018. ” In addition, although SASE is relatively new, COVID-19 has accelerated its adoption due to the imperative of business continuity strategies adapted to the boom in remote access. In fact, according to Gartner, since June 2020, more than 40% of global teleworkers use SASE . “
Given Gartner’s market estimates, a SASE certification is useful, but will become essential to prove connectivity and security skills relevant and appropriate to the direction of the industry.
What is the best certification?
As the first supplier of a true SASE platform, Cato logically recommends its certification. Here are some supporting facts:
Gartner has defined four basic requirements for a true SASE platform: Convergence, Cloud Native, Global Footprint, and Universal Compatibility. Cato Cloud is the first complete achievement of the SASE architecture that fits perfectly with Gartner’s definition:
Convergence
nos fonctions de connectivité et de sécurité résident dans une seule solution logicielle.
Cloud natif
notre architecture de service orientée cloud héberge tous les éléments possibles dans le cloud.
Empreinte mondiale
notre service SASE repose sur un backbone privé mondial comptant plus de 60 PoP.
we link all the elements of enterprise (data centers, cloud, mobile and remote users) to a unified, centrally managed SASE service. 
Universal compatibility
In 2019, Gartner first integrated SASE into its corporate network hype cycle. In its recent reports in 2020, Gartner featured SASE in its two Hype Cycles of Enterprise Network and Network Security. All of these reports cite Cato as an example of a SASE provider.
