What is SASE/SSE?
SASE/SSE combines networking and security functions into one converged cloud service. SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) covers networking plus security, SSE (Security Service Edge) the security part. Access is verified per user and application: security follows the user and the application rather than the classic network perimeter.
SASE vs. SSE: what is the difference?
SSE (Security Service Edge) is the pure security part of SASE/SSE, such as ZTNA and SWG. SASE adds the network component (WAN/SD-WAN). In short: SSE secures access, SASE additionally connects sites and users. We work out with you which scope fits, driven by your requirements.
Which components does SASE/SSE include?
SASE/SSE bundles several security services: Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), DNS filtering, Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) and email security. Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) plus secure site and user connectivity round off the package. KAEMI assembles it to fit.
How does SASE/SSE differ from a classic VPN?
Unlike a VPN, SASE/SSE does not grant blanket access to the network. Instead, every access is verified per application and restricted to the necessary minimum (least privilege, Zero Trust). Users only receive access to the applications they genuinely need, which shrinks the attack surface.
How does KAEMI introduce SASE/SSE?
KAEMI delivers SASE/SSE as a managed service — we handle the Zero Trust implementation from planning through rollout to ongoing operations, as a Cloudflare partner. Instead of a big-bang rollout we migrate step by step: first individual applications and user groups, then progressively more. Your environment stays stable and your team keeps the overview.
Who is SASE/SSE suitable for?
SASE/SSE particularly suits mid-sized and large companies with distributed sites and mobile employees who need secure access from anywhere. It also fits organisations with high demands on controlled, application-level access. KAEMI works requirements-driven and aligns the solution with your needs.
What does SASE mean?
SASE stands for Secure Access Service Edge — an architecture model coined by Gartner that merges networking (SD-WAN) and security into one cloud service. The SASE security stack bundles ZTNA, Secure Web Gateway, CASB and DLP; every access is verified by identity and context. In short: security follows users and applications, not the office perimeter.
How much does SASE cost — and what drives SASE pricing?
SASE costs depend mainly on the number of users, sites and the modules you book (ZTNA, SWG, CASB, DLP). In return, the SASE solution consolidates a grown security stack: VPN concentrators, proxy appliances and individual licences disappear, and capital expenditure becomes a predictable monthly amount. Our <a href="/en/blog/zero-trust-implementierung-kosten-faktoren-und-tco-analyse-2026/">Zero Trust cost and TCO analysis</a> shows the full calculation.
Why does KAEMI build SASE on Cloudflare?
Cloudflare One is a single-vendor SASE platform: Cloudflare Zero Trust (ZTNA, SWG, CASB, DLP) and WAN connectivity run on the same global network — one console, one policy set, no appliance chain. We support Cloudflare SASE as an Authorized Service Delivery Partner, from analysis through implementation to 24/7 operations. See our <a href="/en/cloudflare/#zero-trust">Cloudflare overview</a>.
Does KAEMI offer Zero Trust consulting and a Zero Trust assessment?
Yes. Zero Trust consulting starts with an assessment: where do identities, devices and access stand today, and which steps reduce risk fastest? The result is a prioritised roadmap that we implement as a Zero Trust provider from Berlin — including managed operations if you wish. Details under <a href="/en/professional-services/">Professional Services</a>.
Can we adopt SASE without replacing VPN and firewalls right away?
Yes — that is exactly how a SASE migration is designed. The platform initially runs alongside your existing setup: first, individual applications and user groups move to ZTNA, then the Secure Web Gateway takes over internet traffic from your sites. You replace the VPN step by step, and legacy appliances are only retired once the new path has proven itself. That keeps the SASE implementation low-risk and reversible.
What does a SASE architecture look like in practice?
A SASE architecture moves control from the site firewall to a global cloud platform: every access — from the office, home office or on the road — passes through the nearest network location, which acts as the policy enforcement point and verifies identity, device posture and context. Users connect via client, browser or site tunnel; policies are managed centrally in one place.
Is SASE only for large enterprises — or also for the mid-market?
SASE for business is not a question of size: because the platform comes from the cloud, mid-sized companies use the same enterprise SASE capabilities as a large corporation — without staffing a round-the-clock security team. Especially for remote work and hybrid work, an early start pays off; as managed SASE, KAEMI covers implementation, operations and ongoing development.
