SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is the architecture that replaces the VPN and the traditional perimeter with cloud security: CASB, SWG, FWaaS and ZTNA on a single platform. GRUPO LINKA deploys and manages it across Spain as Netskope's Nº1 Official Partner, with our own 24/7 SOC and ISO 27001 certification.
What Is SASE and How Does It Differ From SSE?
SSE (Security Service Edge) is the set of cloud security services defined by Gartner: CASB, SWG, FWaaS and ZTNA. SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is the complete architecture, adding the network layer (SD-WAN) to that SSE. In practice: SSE is the security, SASE is security plus connectivity.
It brings together key capabilities such as CASB, SWG, FWaaS and ZTNA, essential requirements to protect people and data in the cloud without sacrificing the user experience, and the foundation of your information security project.
Does SASE Replace the VPN and the Firewall?
Yes to the VPN, partly to the firewall. ZTNA fully replaces the remote access VPN: instead of putting the user inside your network, it connects them only to the specific application they need. The perimeter firewall still makes sense at headquarters, but it stops being the centre of your security: the cloud takes that role.
| TRADITIONAL VPN | ZTNA (ZERO TRUST) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it grants | Access to the whole network | Access to one specific application |
| If credentials are stolen | The attacker moves across the whole network | The attacker only reaches that app |
| Performance | All traffic goes through headquarters | Direct, optimised connection |
| Scaling to 200 users | New licence and more bandwidth | Immediate, no hardware |
| Visibility | You know they connected | You know what they accessed and did |
| User experience | They must remember to switch it on | Transparent, always on |
If your VPN is slow, drops under load or forces you to buy licences every time the team grows, that is exactly the problem ZTNA solves.
Tell us how your remote access is set up ↓Protect Your Team Wherever They Work
With SASE, the security policy travels with the user. It makes no difference whether they are in the office, at home, in a hotel or at the airport: the same filtering, the same application control and the same data protection apply to their laptop, without depending on them remembering to switch anything on.
The problem with remote work is not that people are away. It is that away from the office you see nothing: you do not know which applications they connect to, what they download or what they upload to their personal Drive.
SASE brings that visibility back without installing boxes or forcing the user to change how they work. And it does so equally for 10 people or for 500. If you also want to protect the endpoint itself, we combine it with Shield One.
Prevent Data Loss and Control Browsing
Data loss prevention (DLP) detects confidential information, such as personal data, payroll, contracts or intellectual property, and stops it leaving the company towards personal clouds, external email or unauthorised devices. Web filtering adds browsing control: more than 120 categories, across more than 200 countries, over 99.9% of the active web.
Most leaks are not attacks: they are mistakes. Someone attaches the wrong file, uploads a folder to their personal Drive to work on it at the weekend, or shares a link with no expiry date.
This is not about banning, it is about seeing and scoping: allow the corporate Drive and block the personal one, allow reading but not downloading, warn the user at the moment instead of punishing them afterwards.
I want to know what data is leaking ↓The Four Pillars of an SSE Architecture
ZTNA, Zero Trust Access
Connects authenticated users, from any location and device, only to the resources they are entitled to.
SWG, Filtering and Safe Browsing
Blocks advanced threats, filters by category and controls the use of web applications.
CASB, Control of Cloud Applications
Identifies which cloud apps are really used in your company and stops confidential data leaving through them.
FWaaS, Cloud Firewall
Network security over outbound traffic, across all ports and protocols, for users and offices.
Visibility for AWS, Azure and GCP
Netskope’s integration with AWS, Azure and GCP via API provides visibility over your inventory and the configurations of all your managed IaaS and PaaS services.
Its inline capabilities extend visibility to managed and unmanaged IaaS environments, with real-time controls that keep your security strategy enforced.
SASE Deployment, Step by Step
A typical SASE project rolls out in four phases and does not interrupt operations: assessment and design, platform deployment, policy definition and progressive migration, and continuous managed operation. We work with our own certified team in Spain and provide service across the whole country.
We support you throughout the journey to SASE, from design to managed operation.

Your SASE Questions, Answered
What is the difference between SSE and SASE?+
SSE is the set of cloud security services: CASB, SWG, FWaaS and ZTNA. SASE is the complete architecture, adding the network layer (SD-WAN) to that SSE. SSE is the security; SASE is security plus connectivity.
Does SASE replace my VPN?+
Yes. ZTNA fully replaces the remote access VPN and does so more securely: instead of granting access to the whole network, it grants access only to the specific application each user needs.
And does it replace my firewall?+
Partly. The perimeter firewall still protects headquarters, but it stops being the centre of the architecture. FWaaS covers outbound traffic from users and offices, from the cloud.
Does it protect employees working remotely?+
Yes. The security policy travels with the user: it applies the same way in the office, at home or on a public network, without them having to activate anything.
How long does a SASE deployment take?+
It depends on the number of users and applications, but a phased rollout gets the first group of users protected in weeks, not months. Migration is progressive and does not interrupt operations.
Is it suitable for a company with 50 employees?+
Yes. As a cloud service there is no hardware to buy and no need to size in advance. You pay per user and scale up or down.
Does it work with AWS, Azure and GCP?+
Yes. API integration provides visibility of the inventory and configuration of your IaaS and PaaS services, with real time controls and cloud security posture management (CSPM).
Do you provide service across Spain?+
Yes. Our own certified team, a 24/7 SOC in Spain and coverage across the whole country.
