Versa Networks has unveiled the Versa Sovereign SASE deployment model, which allows enterprises and service providers to manage their SASE infrastructure entirely on-premises.

This new model enables customized networking and security services to be deployed directly from the infrastructure of enterprises, governments, and service providers.

The increasing regulatory frameworks, such as the EU's GDPR and DORA, are driving the demand for sovereign systems to ensure compliance with local data handling regulations.

By enforcing zero-trust principles and localized data processing, Sovereign SASE aims to enhance security and privacy while minimizing external threats.

Industries such as defense, financial services, and hospitality are adopting Sovereign SASE for its robust security and compliance capabilities.

Key benefits of the Versa Sovereign SASE model include improved privacy and control, reduced risk of service disruptions, and simplified compliance with regulatory requirements.

The trend towards sovereign systems reflects growing concerns over data privacy and self-determination, with forecasts suggesting a $250 billion market for sovereign clouds by 2027.

The Sovereign SASE model addresses the escalating demands for control due to evolving data privacy regulations and rising security threats.

This architecture routes data through designated geographic zones to prevent unauthorized cross-border transfers, ensuring jurisdictional compliance.

Service provider partners, including T-Mobile US and Tata Communications, have begun offering tailored Sovereign SASE services to meet local compliance needs.

Managed service providers are leveraging Versa Sovereign SASE to modernize their offerings, allowing them to maintain control over data processing and compliance.

Versa Sovereign SASE is now generally available as part of the VersaONE Universal SASE Platform, introducing a third deployment option alongside as-a-service and private offerings.
