Cloud-native vs. Cloud-resident Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

There are many products and solutions that claim to be cloud-native Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions, when in fact they are cloud-enabled or cloud-resident. What’s the difference and why should you care? And how can agencies move to a cloud-native architecture?

Cloud-native architecture concerns the design of applications or services that were made specifically to exist in the cloud, rather than in a more traditional on-premises infrastructure. A successful cloud-native architecture needs to be easy to maintain and supported by a next-generation cloud, while also being cost efficient and self-healing. Cloud-resident solutions, on the other hand, are cloud-enabled point solutions cobbled together and instantiated in a cloud compute environment.
