Security Risk, Not Routing, Is Driving SASE

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recently published forecast report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, cumulative Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) spending across Security Service Edge (SSE) and Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) is forecast to reach $97B over the 2025–2030 period. This level of spending is nearly three times larger than the total SASE outlays recorded over the prior five-year period (2020–2024) and reflects a structural shift in how enterprises design networks. Security policy is increasingly defined upstream by risk governance requirements, and connectivity is engineered to execute that policy consistently across users, applications, and locations.

"Security policy is no longer a downstream control that follows network design; it is becoming the architectural layer that dictates how access and connectivity are built," said Mauricio Sanchez, Sr. Director, Enterprise Security and Networking at Dell'Oro Group. "What stands out in this forecast is not just growth, but scale, as enterprises align enterprise WAN networking and security decisions around governance, accountability, and audit readiness rather than treating SD-WAN and SSE as independent technology choices," added Sanchez.
