The main feature of SASE is the shift in the focus of information security from the perimeter to each element of the distributed office separately. An “element” in this case is a user, a separate device, and even an application or network service. Each element is identified and receives a certain set of rights and permissions; the work of each is checked in real time for suspicious activity. As a result, a remote employee no longer has to set up a VPN channel themselves, following the advice of a system administrator over the phone, to connect to a corporate server. Both the server and the employee both access their SASE cloud node, which, based on their identification (which can be multifactorial, for greater reliability), establishes a dedicated encrypted virtual channel between them - without any additional effort on their part.
In this case, to the set of data and applications on the server that corresponds to the security policies assigned to him, and the cloud node monitors in real time for possible unauthorized transfer of sensitive data and/or malware activity on the user's side. The solution is quite effective and reliable - the main thing is that in the near future as many cloud service providers as possible begin to offer it to their customers.

It was the second month of quarantine. In a small one-room apartment, all the rooms were clearly divided during working hours. The kitchen turned into Pasha's office during working hours. He didn't need much, just a table, a coffee pot, and a comfortable chair. With a laptop, you can sit at the table.
It was more difficult for Lena. She is a teacher. And, therefore, the room and the large monitor, which they used as a 40-inch TV, are hers. This week, classes began at school, which means they need to prepare for them. Today, the most important part is the rehearsal.
- Pasha, can you be a student?
- Of course, my dear!
— Shall we begin?
- Yes!
- Pasha, I bolivia mobile database problems!
- Which?
— Our cat chewed through the headset wire.
- Take mine!
- Wait, what doesn’t the camera show?
