The “SEA Partner Growth Dialogue” event is a gathering place for Fortinet’s leading Southeast Asian partners to discuss SD-WAN (Software Defined Wide Area Network) and SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) technology trends and solutions - key technologies that are shaping the future of global networking and security.

SD-WAN/SASE Trends and Demand

Worldwide, SASE is becoming an indispensable trend in the context of remote working and digital transformation taking place strongly. With flexible security and network management capabilities, SASE helps businesses optimize operations, minimize risks and improve productivity.

According to Gartner's forecast, the SASE market will grow 29% during 2022 - 2027, reaching $25,294 million in 2027. This shows that businesses are increasingly recognizing the value of SASE in meeting increasingly complex business needs.

At the same time, the trend of providing SASE services by a single vendor – capable of providing Network, Security and Managed Services – will increase sharply, from 20% in 2023 to 45% in 2027.

In Vietnam, the demand for SD-WAN and SASE is increasing as businesses face stringent requirements for data storage and security compliance. In the context of digital transformation and the booming demand for secure remote connections, SD-WAN with integrated security has become an inevitable choice, providing strong, secure and flexible connectivity for Vietnamese businesses.
