Versa has launched Inbound SSE, a cloud-delivered security capability that protects internet-facing applications by inspecting inbound traffic before it reaches application environments. The solution extends Versa's Security Service Edge platform, which traditionally focused on outbound traffic protection. Inbound SSE redirects connections from the internet through Versa's cloud security platform for inspection and policy evaluation before allowing them to reach applications. Security protections include access control, denial-of-service detection, bot filtering, intrusion prevention and malware blocking. The technology eliminates the need for traditional firewall infrastructure in front of each application, offering centralised policy management and elastic security scaling. It is available immediately as part of the VersaONE Universal SASE Platform for enterprises and service providers. Swisscom is deploying the technology through its beem service.

Versa, a global leader in unified security and networking, has partnered with 10T Solutions to deliver native multi-carrier cellular connectivity for SD-WAN appliances. The integration enables enterprises to deploy up to two active eSIMs with multiple carrier profiles on Versa CSG and CSM appliances. The solution addresses challenges faced by enterprises extending 5G connectivity to branches and remote locations, including coverage gaps and unpredictable performance. Key features include multi-carrier eSIM support, dynamic profile switching, intelligent path selection, and zero-touch provisioning. Each appliance supports up to two active eSIMs, with each capable of accessing up to four carrier profiles simultaneously. The integration is now available for Versa CSG and CSM appliances with 4G and 5G radios.

Versa rolls out Sovereign SASE-as-a-Service to keep data and control planes within national borders. Versa Networks Inc. today announced the general availability of Sovereign SASE-as-a-Service, a fully managed sovereign secure access service edge offering delivered from infrastructure operated entirely within an organization's legal jurisdiction. The solution has been designed to provide comprehensive SASE functionality, with the entire data, control and management planes contained within that same jurisdiction, a requirement for organizations operating under strict data residency and regulatory compliance mandates. Most existing SASE services available today are not fully sovereign. They may offer localized inspection and enforcement but are limited to a handful of countries because operational control and management often reside outside the jurisdiction where data is processed. Versa also claims that some vendors mask their offering as sovereign by offering gateways on customers' premises. But that does not address the gap, as operational sovereignty requires more than the location of a gateway. "Many enterprises invested in sovereign cloud strategies, only to discover their security and networking control planes were outside their jurisdiction," said Versa Chief Executive Kelly Ahuja. "Deploying a cloud SASE provider's appliance on customer premises does not make a solution sovereign. True sovereignty requires control over where policy is enforced, where control and management occur and who controls and governs that data while it is in motion." Versa's new Sovereign SASE-as-a-Service addresses the data sovereignty issue by ensuring that the data, control and management planes operate entirely within the customer's legal jurisdiction. The company's approach extends sovereignty to how traffic is inspected, routed, logged and governed. Versa is positioning the service as a way for enterprises to reduce compliance exposure without having to build and operate their own infrastructure. The new service offers the full Versa SASE stack - including secure web gateway, cloud access security broker, firewall-as-a-service, zero-trust network access and software-defined wide area networking - through infrastructure hosted and operated within a single jurisdiction. Enterprises can connect branch offices, remote users, data centers and cloud environments into a unified fabric, with traffic inspection, policy enforcement and logging handled within the sovereign environment. The service is delivered in a fully managed model, with Versa operating and maintaining the platform while customers consume it as a cloud service. "Delivering sovereign SASE as a managed service represents a structural shift in the market," said Jim Frey, principal analyst for networking at Omdia, "Until now, sovereign architectures were largely limited to national operators or organizations with the resources to build and operate their own infrastructure. A managed model lowers the barrier for regulated enterprises that require jurisdictional alignment without taking on that operational burden." Versa has raised $316 million in funding, including rounds of $84 million in June 2021 and $120 million in October 2022. Investors include Sequoia Capital Operations, Artis Ventures, Mayfield Fund Management, BlackRock Inc., Verizon Ventures, Comcast Ventures, Silicon Valley Bank, Liberty Global Ventures, Princeville Capital, RPS Ventures and Triangle Peak Partners.
