The technology uses a single-pass scanning architecture combined with a unified policy that's configured via a unified console that draws from a unified data lake. "This is significant for organizations to continue to provide a consistent and assured user experience while protecting users, devices, sites, and data amid the rapidly evolving dynamics coming in 2023," says Kelly Ahuja, CEO of networking and cybersecurity firm Versa Networks.
In 2023, many enterprises still require employees to work in the office at least some of the time. "This creates a hybrid and migratory workforce that will be transient across the enterprise perimeter, essentially dissolving the enterprise perimeter," Ahuja warns. Unified SASE addresses this concern by offering both network and cloud-centric security anywhere and anytime, to any user, device, or location in a consistent manner.
Unified SASE also addresses the management and security challenges presented by hybrid clouds. "Most enterprises entered 2022 with a strategy to migrate workloads and applications to one cloud," Ahuja says. "Today, most organizations have a hybrid cloud strategy, and many follow a multi-cloud approach for business continuity, cost, and efficiency."Multi-cloud networking software (MCNS) addresses the challenges related to connecting networks and applications across multiple public cloud environments. MCNS products aim to ensure consistent networking governance, policy, security, and visibility across multiple cloud environments via a single point of management.
Many cloud providers aren't able to effectively handle the integration of multiple clouds, says Ron Howell, managing enterprise network architect at IT consulting firm Capgemini Americas.
He explains that each public cloud service tends to focus on its cloud as if it were the only one an enterprise would ever need. "This is where multi-cloud networking software adds value," Howell notes.Cilium will emerge as the hottest network technology in 2023, says Ashish Kakran, principal at venture capital firm Thomvest Ventures. He notes that Cilium open source software effectively tucks networking, observability and security into a single, easy to use solution for container-based applications hosted on multi/hybrid cloud environments.
"There are a few unique advantages of using Cilium: no code changes required for granular visibility, no need to learn a new language, and blazing fast performance," Kakran says.
Under the hood, Cilium uses a powerful open-source technology called eBPF, which effectively makes the Linux kernel programmable. "Think of it as an innovation similar to Javascript, which made web browsers programmable and made it possible to do things like dynamically update web pages, load user comments, and send notifications in real time," Kakran says.

"This technology solves Kubernetes related networking and observability challenges for enterprises of all sizes, but especially when they hit scale."
