• Versa Networks Achieves FIPS 140-2 Security Certification (Mar 30, 2023)

  Versa Operating System (VOS) Achieves Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Cryptographic Module Validation by NIST

  santa clara, calif., january 5, 2023

  Versa Networks, the recognized leader of single-vendor Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), today announced it has achieved FIPS 140-2 certification for its Versa Operating System (VOS)™, which is the foundation for Versa SASE and Versa Secure SD-WAN and includes complete end-to-end security with FIPS validated cryptography for the entire solution. This is an important milestone that demonstrates Versa’s commitment to the public sector, including the state and federal government vertical for which this certification is critical.

  “Federal CIOs and CISOs are driving strategic Zero Trust and SASE initiatives to meet President Biden’s Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity,” said Ed Elmore, Federal VP of Sales at Versa Networks. “To deliver the most secure capabilities to our federal customers, Versa is committed to FIPS 140-2 certifications by NIST as a foundational element of Versa products supporting our government customers’ missions. Versa delivers the most comprehensive, fully integrated SASE and Zero Trust solution to the government.”

  Sunil Ravi, Chief Security Architect at Versa Networks, said, “Our team is proud to have achieved FIPS 140-2 Level-1 certification for VOS as a Branch and Controller, both when deployed as a bare metal appliance and when deployed as a virtual machine. The FIPS-certified VOS cryptographic modules power the cryptography for the Control Plane and Data Plane of the Versa SASE and Versa Secure SD-WAN solutions.”

  “We are excited to achieve this milestone reiterating our commitment to delivering very high standards of security solutions for our customers demanding the most stringent cryptographic standards,” said Vengal Darapaneni, Head of Program Management at Versa Networks.

  The evaluation was conducted by Advanced Data Security, an independent cryptographic module testing laboratory accredited by the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). The CMVP is a joint effort between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Department of Commerce and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, a branch of the Communications Security Establishment.

• Dell’Oro Group Ranks Versa Networks as the Unified SASE Market Share Leader for Second Year in a Row (Mar 31, 2023)

  Dell’Oro Group Research Ranked Vendors Based on 2022 Worldwide Revenue; Reveals Worldwide SASE Market will Exceed More Than $60 Billion Between 2022 and 2027

  santa clara, calif. – march 30, 2023

  Versa Networks, the recognized leader of single-vendor Unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), today announced that it has been ranked as the Unified SASE market share leader for the second year in a row, according to the Dell’Oro Group 4Q22 SASE and SD-WAN Quarterly Report published this month. Dell’Oro Group is the trusted source of market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center infrastructure industries.

  Dell’Oro Group’s annual SASE market share report ranked Versa as the number one Unified SASE vendor, based on 2022 worldwide revenue. Dell’Oro Group defines Unified SASE as networking and security services integrated in a single, tightly integrated product platform with all SASE components coming from the same vendor. As per this report, Unified SASE has significant benefits over Disaggregated SASE – where networking and security services are not tightly integrated – including less operational burden, no inter-vendor disputes, tighter integration between components, and clearer service level agreements.

  According to Dell’Oro Group, Unified SASE will grow three times faster than Disaggregated SASE between 2022 and 2027, with a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36 percent for Unified SASE compared to 12 percent for Disaggregated SASE. In addition, single-vendor Unified SASE, composed of those vendors that sell both SD-WAN and SSE solutions, experienced appreciably higher revenue growth than multi-vendor SASE solutions, consisting of bundled solutions from two or more vendors who sell only SD-WAN or SSE products. For the full-year 2022, single-vendor Unified SASE revenue outgrew multi-vendor SASE, 41 percent versus 29 percent.

  The report revealed that the worldwide SASE market, based on the sum of the networking and security components, was over $6 billion for full-year 2022, representing strong 34 percent year-on-year growth. The report also forecasted that the worldwide SASE market will exceed more than $60 billion between 2022 and 2027.

  “SASE is a service-centric, cloud-based technology solution that provides network connectivity and enforces security between users, devices, and applications,” said Mauricio Sanchez, Research Director at Dell’Oro Group. “A growing number of enterprises are embracing a 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 are pleased to award the company with Dell’Oro Group’s Market Share Leadership Award for Unified SASE for the second year in a row.”

  “It’s an honor, but not surprising, for Versa AI/ML-powered Unified SASE to have the largest market share,” said Kumar Mehta, Co-Founder of Versa Networks. “Our traction is fuelled by the increased market demand for a well-integrated suite of SASE services that work seamlessly together. Versa’s Unified SASE delivers an improved security posture, increased operational efficiency, and improved user and administrator experience.”

  Versa’s AI/ML-powered single-vendor Unified SASE delivers organically developed best-of-breed functions that tightly integrate and deliver services via the cloud, on-premises, or as a blended combination of both, managed through a single pane of glass.
