Secure Workspace vs. SASE
Protect Business Data at the Device Level - Not Just the Network Traffic
SASE solutions protect network traffic but don't protect data at rest on devices or when offline. Secure Workspace provides device-level data protection across both deployment modes — secure work on personal devices and secure personal workspaces on managed laptops — regardless of network connectivity.
