On September 28, the China Communications Standards Association Computing Network Convergence Industry and Standards Promotion Committee (CCSA TC621) and the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology held the second phase of the SD-WAN series "SASE Technology Salon" successfully online. At this meeting, Fnetlink was invited to attend as an excellent MSP in the industry, and brought a speech sharing of "Fnetlink's comprehensive construction of cloud network security integrated service in the SASE era", focusing on SASE key technologies and industry applications with various technical experts and industry guests , industrial development and other core content, exchange and share SASE related technologies and practical experience.

In recent years, my country is continuously promoting new technologies and applications in the field of network security integration. SASE integrates network and security innovation technologies (SD-WAN, zero trust, cloud native network, etc.), and comprehensively builds cloud-network-computing-security integration Service has become a research hotspot in the field of network security in my country. This conference, focusing on SASE technology and application, aims to promote the high-quality development of the SASE industry and build a good SASE industry ecology, providing guiding opinions and directions.
Nowadays, the process of industrial digital transformation is accelerating, and the application scenarios of cloud-network integration continue to deepen. The role of network security in ensuring high-quality industrial development has gradually become prominent, and the demand for SASE technology that integrates enterprise-level network functions and security services is also increasing. At the meeting, Fnetlink Product Director Liu Chao gave a wonderful sharing on the theme of "Fnetlink's comprehensive construction of cloud network security integrated service in the SASE era".

He said that in the current era of cloudification, enterprise networks are becoming more complex, and security issues are becoming more and more diverse. Affected by the epidemic, many employees of enterprises need to work remotely/mobile. SASE is an integrated design of cloud and network security, which meets the agility and elasticity requirements of the network while taking into account network security. Cloud-native security services can be expanded as needed to help customers further reduce costs and increase efficiency.
The SASE service model is mainly composed of network-as-a-service and security-as-a-service. As an excellent MSP in the field of network services, Fnetlink is extending its service boundary to the field of MSSP security services. At the solution level, Huawei's network data communication products are combined with the high-speed backbone composed of 122 Fnetlink global nodes to build a highly competitive SD-WAN solution, and cooperate with Huawei's campus product line to complete the upgrade of the LAN/WAN fusion solution. At the same time, Fnetlink is in-depth cooperation with SSE solution manufacturers, actively introducing ZTNA, CASB, SWG, FWaaS and other capabilities to form a complete SASE solution. At the service level, Fnetlink is already a SD-WAN Ready 1.0 and 2.0 standard certification service provider of the Institute of Information and Communications Technology, and is currently cooperating with multiple security vendors to obtain MSSP service provider certification. Today, Fnetlink is already a service provider with SASE capabilities at the solution level and service system construction level.

Fnetlink divides SASE usage scenarios into branch users accessing intranet applications, branch users accessing public network applications, and remote/mobile office users accessing intranet and intranet applications. Branch users accessing intranet applications are usually isolated by firewalls, and customers with high security requirements can also add a zero-trust mechanism to strengthen identity security verification. In addition, both scenarios need to add a zero-trust mechanism. On the one hand, zero-trust can prevent external network applications from being attacked by exposing addresses and ports. On the other hand, adding dynamic identity verification can further strengthen security protection. Through the zero-trust micro-isolation technology, the security of remote/mobile office users accessing intranet users can be further strengthened.
At present, Fnetlink is actively cooperating with security vendors, based on the existing NOC network operation center, upgrading to a network + security operation center, setting up a dedicated front-line security seat, and dealing with customers' general network security issues, while urgent and difficult issues It will be transferred to second-line or third-line security experts for analysis and processing. Today, Fnetlink SASE services have gradually been implemented in different industries. Customers are generally very satisfied with the integration of cloud and network security products operated by a service provider. While reducing costs and increasing efficiency, customers also feel the benefits of one-stop fully managed services Good experience. In addition, under the suggestion of customers, Fnetlink has continuously improved the overall solution and service system, and has rapidly evolved into the role of a professional SASE service provider.

At this technical salon, Fnetlink SASE theme sharing was also recognized by many guests on the scene. With the end of the conference, Fnetlink will continue to cultivate the WAN field, explore the SASE field, continue to improve its own products and services, and join hands with China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, CCSA TC621 and various industry partners to continuously promote SASE service products and technologies Upgrade to help the SASE industry flourish and develop together.
