Cybersecurity has become a business priority as digital operations expand and threats grow more sophisticated. Gartner reports that 93% of boards view cyber risk as a threat to stakeholder value and forecasts that worldwide information security spending will reach $322 billion by 2029 as organizations strengthen security and resilience.
Enterprises face a bewildering range of cybersecurity technology solutions that tackle different layers and areas of the cyberthreat landscape, as well as increasing demands for compliance from regulators, shareholders, and insurance companies while maintaining the performance of the critical business applications.
In response to these major challenges for enterprises worldwide, leading cybersecurity and application assurance technology providers have helped to develop and publish industry standards and drive a new, modular SASE Certification program underpinned by those standards. Together, these standards and certification program help enterprises maintain application performance and protect business and customer data in the constantly evolving worlds of cybercrime and cybersecurity.
SecureIQLab named Accredited Test and Certification Partner to conduct independent SASE testing and help advance test and certification methodology

SASE Certification = SD-WAN Certification + SSE Certification + Zero Trust Certification
Our approach to SASE certification of technology solution providers is modular.
Under the unifying umbrella of SASE, technology providers can certify their solutions’ effectiveness in the following categories:
Service providers, in turn, demonstrate that they are using certified SD-WAN, Zero Trust, and SSE components for their SASE services by inheriting the certifications of their technology providers.
Mplify SASE Certification enables technology suppliers to establish a standards-compliant presence within a federation of automated networks for cybersecurity.
All SD-WAN certified technology providers are listed in the Technology Certification Registry
