Versa Networks, the global leader in AI/ML-powered Unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), today announced it has once again been ranked as the current worldwide Unified SASE market share leader, commanding nearly 40 percent of the global market share in 2Q 2023 revenue, according to the Dell’Oro Group 2Q 2023 SASE & SD-WAN Quarterly Report. This follows Versa Networks’ previous consecutive rankings as the global Unified SASE market share leader for the entire years of 2020, 2021, and 2022, according to Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source of market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center infrastructure industries.
“SASE is a service-centric, cloud-based technology solution that provides network connectivity and enforces security between users, devices, and applications,” said Mauricio Sanchez, Sr. Research Director, Enterprise Networking and Security at Dell’Oro Group. “Organizations are embracing the Unified SASE approach which delivers these capabilities as a unified, tightly integrated service that increases network scalability, agility, and security. As a result of Versa’s market performance, we again rank them as the current worldwide Unified SASE market share leader based on our recent report.”
Unified SASE, as described by Dell’Oro Group, represents a consolidated and highly integrated approach to Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). It combines networking and security services into a single platform from a single vendor and utilizes a unified policy repository for both network and security policies.
Dell’Oro Group's July 2023 SASE & SD-WAN Forecast Report predicts that the Unified SASE market will experience substantial growth with a 5-year (2022 to 2027) 32% revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR). This growth is expected to outpace the Disaggregated SASE approach, which is forecast to grow at a 5-year 15% revenue CAGR, indicating that customers prefer the simplicity offered by Unified SASE.
Furthermore, the report indicates that the single-vendor SASE market is projected to grow faster (5-year 22% revenue CAGR) than multi-vendor SASE (5-year 12% revenue CAGR), as customers prefer a one-stop shop for SASE. Overall, Dell’Oro Group anticipates that the worldwide SASE market revenue will increase from $6.4B in 2022 to $14.1B in 2027, representing a 17% CAGR.
