In today’s work-from-anywhere world, IT leaders are challenged
with balancing employee convenience with securing their networks.
New security architectures, such as SASE, which converges
networking and security via SD-WAN and cloud-delivered security,
and SSE, the security foundation of SASE, enable enterprises to
strengthen their security posture while enhancing employees’
experience, regardless of their location. In fact, according to a
recent Foundry CIO research study sponsored by Masergy (a Comcast
Business company) and Fortinet, the overwhelming majority (98%) of
enterprise IT leaders surveyed cited the convergence of network and
security as critical or very important, while 94% said their
adoption of SASE solutions has accelerated.
The new Comcast Business offerings — delivered through Comcast
Business Secure Gateways — give enterprises the option to choose
from either SASE or SSE solutions backed by Fortinet’s
security-driven networking technology and Equinix’s flexible cloud
connection Equinix Fabric™ for a complete secure network service.
Enterprises wanting to enable safe access to cloud and web services
can take advantage of the Comcast Business SSE solution, which
brings together multiple cloud-delivered network security
technologies in a fully-hosted environment. The Comcast Business
SASE solution provides this hosted SSE security architecture
combined with zero trust capabilities and any of Comcast Business’s
SD-WAN solutions.
“In today’s dynamic world, no two companies are alike and very
few are the same as they were just two years ago,” said Amit Verma,
Chief Technology Officer, Enterprise Solutions, Comcast Business.
“By expanding our relationship with Fortinet, we are offering our
clients more choice and the flexibility to choose a solution that
works for them – while providing some of the latest security
solutions to help keep them ready for the day – today and
tomorrow.”
Comcast Business Secure Gateways provide a fully-hosted set of
SASE or SSE services covering a broad range of security networking
solutions for Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), Intrusion Prevention
(IPS), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Cloud Access Security Brokers
(CASB), and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). Comcast Business
Secure Gateways are hosted across the United States at Equinix data

connectivity for public, private, or hybrid cloud deployments. The

Azure, Google Cloud, IBM and more than 200 SaaS providers.
"In order to enhance user experience, reduce complexity, and
improve their security posture against today’s most advanced and
persistent threats, organizations must adopt solutions that
converge networking and security," said John Maddison, EVP of
products and CMO, Fortinet. “We’re pleased to work closely with
Comcast Business to build SASE services that support customers at
any stage of digital innovation with Fortinet’s industry leading
security-driven networking technology.”
