Many organizations mistake SASE for just another point solution instead of a framework to adopt and continue to add to their patchwork infrastructure. This leads to more complexity, more integration headaches, and less security.
Most deployments today are fragmented: different vendors, inconsistent policies, siloed operations. This leads to gaps, blind spots, and the very complexity SASE was meant to eliminate.
Others attempt gradual migration thinking it's the safer approach. But without comprehensive discovery and a unified architectural plan, this incremental strategy often locks them into fragmented hybrid networks for the long haul—exactly the opposite of what the framework should achieve. The solution only works when architected as a unified platform, not a collection of disconnected tools.
