Cognitive SASE Architecture
Unifying cross-border mesh resilience with encapsulated automated telemetry
About this edition
An enterprise working across borders and carriers has to keep its infrastructure available and its data confidential, and still see inside its own network.

Hub-and-spoke VPNs cannot do both: they add a single point of failure and fall over when one carrier congests. This architecture converges Layer 2 segmentation, an encrypted peer-to-peer mesh, and a SIEM pipeline carried entirely inside that mesh — so the security telemetry never leaves the encrypted path or touches a third party's infrastructure, and isolation can happen automatically at the edge.
