Hughes Network Systems LLC, an EchoStar company, and Netskope, a provider of security access service, have partnered to bring Hughes customers a security access service solution that combines Hughes managed services expertise with Netskope's Security Service Edge capabilities, according to a press release.

Hughes Managed SASE is designed for small and mid-sized enterprises headquartered in the U.S., Canada and Mexico that want the security posture of a large enterprise at a price point that fits their budget. The solution bundles software-defined wide area networking, known as SD-WAN, with a cloud-delivered security posture, along with an option to integrate with existing SD-WAN deployments using Netskope SSE.

Part of the suite of HughesON managed services, Hughes Managed SASE leverages cloud-native delivery with scalability, flexibility and adaptability to meet changing business needs.

The solution includes every feature of the full SASE framework, such as Cloud Access Security Broker, Secure Web Gateways, Firewall-as-a-Service and Zero Trust Network Access plus options such as managed detection and response.

Hughes SASE customers also benefit from 24/7 security operations center protection along with incident response and alert prioritization for early threat detection and mitigation.
