  • Networking and Security Convergence: Assessing SASE Progress and Best Practices

    ·

    John Grady

    SD-WAN and security technologies have been converging via SASE to simplify the infrastructure stack and deliver better experiences and protection for users. However, questions remain as to how quickly organizations are acting to tightly couple both networking and security tools and teams. While convergence has an appealing value proposition, it can be difficult to implement in practice. Enterprise Strategy Group recently cybersecurity, networking, and IT professionals to gain insights into these trends.

  • Networking and Security Convergence: Assessing SASE Progress and Best Practices

    ·

    John Grady

    SD-WAN and security technologies have been converging via SASE to simplify the infrastructure stack and deliver better experiences and protection for users. However, questions remain as to how quickly organizations are acting to tightly couple both networking and security tools and teams. Network and security organizations have different objectives, KPIs, workflows, and vendor preferences. Taken together, this means that while convergence has an appealing value proposition, it can be difficult to implement in practice. Networking and security leaders need to understand where their forward-thinking peer organizations are in this process to plan accordingly and, ultimately, solve the key business challenges they face.

    To gain insights into these trends, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 428 cybersecurity, networking, and IT professionals in North America (U.S. and Canada) involved with SASE technology and processes.

  • Wi-Fi Updates Drive LAN and WAN Upgrades Across Industries

    ·

    Jim Frey

    Different businesses can have vastly different priorities when it comes to their Wi-Fi deployment choices. For example, while firms in highly regulated industries like healthcare and financial services will prioritize stringent security and control capabilities, those with rapid seasonal transaction fluctuations such as retail will privilege high-performance features. Recent research by Enterprise Strategy Group investigated how organizations in different industries are navigating their Wi-Fi deployment decisions among the solutions available today.

  • Wi-Fi Evolution: WLAN in the Age of AI

    ·

    Jim Frey

    While much of the technology underpinning wired enterprise networks is mature, the same cannot be said about wireless networks, which continue to change and evolve. Nowhere else is this more evident than within Wi-Fi standards, which endured three major updates in the past 10 years alone, moving from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6 and 6E, and now on to Wi-Fi 7. Each iteration brings new capabilities but also new challenges that can prevent network teams from obtaining the full value of the upgrade. Enterprise Strategy Group recently surveyed networking professionals to gain insights into these trends.

    Jim Frey

    While much of the technology underpinning wired enterprise networks has stabilized and matured, the same cannot be said about wireless networks, which continue to change and evolve. Nowhere else is this more evident than within Wi-Fi standards, which endured three major updates in the past 10 years alone, moving from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6 and 6E, and now on to Wi-Fi 7. Each iteration brings not only new capabilities and features, but also new challenges that can prevent network teams from obtaining the full value of the upgrade. Important new initiatives such as AI and IoT are adding urgency to upgrades, driving efforts to ensure new applications can achieve full potential where wireless LAN technologies are involved.

    To gain further insight into these trends, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 370 networking professionals at organizations with 500 or more employees in North America (U.S. and Canada) involved with or responsible for building and managing wireless network technology and processes at their organization.

    Jim Frey

    At Extreme Connect 2025 in Paris, the top-level theme was about the company’s new, AI-native Extreme Platform ONE solution. And while that is a powerful story in and of itself, another important subtheme emerged around the success its customers are having with Extreme Fabric, a Layer 2 simplified fabric based on Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) that enables network and security automation across campus, branch, and data center.

  • Reaching a Tipping Point With API Security

    ·

    John Grady

    Application security has become more difficult in large part due to the wide range of tactics attackers can use to exploit their targets. APIs in particular have been a growing concern as applications become more interconnected and reliant on microservices. Recent research by Enterprise Strategy Group, now part of Omdia, found that API security vulnerabilities have not been receiving the attention and resources needed to appropriately mitigate growing threats, but that might be changing.
