Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

During Security Week 2025, we launched the industry’s first cloud-native post-quantum Secure Web Gateway (SWG) and Zero Trust solution, a major step towards securing enterprise network traffic sent from end user devices to public and private networks. But this is only part of the equation. To truly secure the future of enterprise networking, you need a complete Secure Access Service Edge (SASE).

There are many NSFW instances in which substituting a single letter in a word can make the difference between a person retaining their job and finding themselves scanning career sites for a new position. Luckily, this does not carry over when looking at the difference between SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) and SSE (Security Service Edge). Both deliver security, but the two solutions deliver different outcomes, so choosing which is right for your organization is key.

In 2026, one theme will become impossible for security and infrastructure leaders to ignore. The architecture that once secured the enterprise no longer aligns with how the enterprise actually works. Users are everywhere. Applications are everywhere. Data is everywhere. Threats are everywhere. What is not everywhere is consistency.

On November 18, 2025, a single configuration file change at Cloudflare disrupted access to large parts of the web. Around 11:20 UTC, Cloudflare’s network began returning a surge of HTTP 5xx errors. Users trying to reach services like X (formerly Twitter), ChatGPT/OpenAI, Ikea, Canva, and many others suddenly saw Cloudflare-branded error pages instead of the applications they expected. Cloudflare mitigated the issue, restored service, and published a detailed public report.
