Versa’s single-vendor Unified SASE platform goes above and beyond management console automation by providing the ability to integrate networks, points of presence, policy definitions, application definitions, agent logic, and data lakes.
“We are honoured to receive the Unified Communications Product of the Year Award from TMC,” says Dan Maier, CMO for Versa Networks. “Our team has worked tirelessly to provide an integrated, single-vendor SASE solution that delivers world-class SD-WAN and best-of-breed network and internet security, all delivered in a way that optimizes user experience and empowers businesses to operate more effectively in today’s complex digital landscape. We are sincerely grateful to TMC for recognizing our efforts, and we look forward to continuing to serve our customers with leading-edge solutions that meet their evolving needs.”
