AT&T, a major telecommunications provider, and Cisco, a global technology company, have partnered to launch AT&T Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) with Cisco, a cloud-delivered platform that integrates networking and security in a single service. The solution combines AT&T’s networking capabilities with Cisco’s security and SD-WAN technologies to simplify IT management, protect against threats, and deliver reliable connectivity.
Designed for mid-sized firms, enterprises modernizing legacy systems, and globally distributed organizations, the platform addresses common challenges of fragmented multi-vendor tools by offering zero-trust security, predictive path optimization, and centralized policy enforcement. Key benefits include multi-layered defense, automated security workflows, enhanced observability, and seamless multi-cloud connectivity.
Shawn Hakl, Head of Product, AT&T Business, stated, “Our long-standing relationship with Cisco allows us to deliver a unified, cloud-based service that simplifies network management and enhances security for businesses to safely grow and adapt in a rapidly changing environment.” Raj Chopra, SVP and Chief Product Officer of Cisco Security, added, “By combining our leading security and SD-WAN technologies with AT&T’s powerful network, we’re helping businesses of all sizes achieve secure, scalable, and efficient connectivity.” The new service is available, reinforcing both companies’ commitment to secure, scalable digital infrastructure for businesses in complex IT environments.
