Our take
The secure access service edge (SASE) is composed of a complex group of networking and cloud software tools like software-defined wide area networks (SD-WAN), secure web gateways (SWG), and firewall-as-a-service. SASE itself functions to better deliver cybersecurity tech, and as such it’s big business right now. Versa Networks is capitalizing on this, with its in-cloud and on-premise flexible SASE solutions.
While the company faces competition against SASE rivals such as Juniper Networks (where the founders left to kick off Versa Networks), and major players like Cisco and Cloudflare. Startups are pulling in hefty funding, too: Cato Networks is a Unicorn twice over, and Netskope is valued at nearly fourfold that. Add to that the current SASE market is set to grow from its 2021 $3 billion valuation to $6 billion by 2028.
This should come as no surprise. SASE sits at the juncture of the lucrative and high-growth sectors of cloud computing, cybersecurity, and networking, and is expected to have a sweeping addressable market as more businesses pivot onto the cloud. Versa Networks is set to hold its own against well-funded startups and acquisitive enterprises, recently completing a "pre-IPO" fundraise of $120 million, the company has positioned itself to deepen its hold on its slice of the market.
