On October 25th, the corporate event “Navigating SASE, Powering Computational Fusion, Co-creating an Efficient Digital Foundation” was successfully held in Shanghai. CypressTel, China Unicom, the Jiading Industrial Internet Innovation Center, and the Yangtze River Delta Industrial Internet Technology Display and Service Center co-hosted the event. CTOs, CIOs, and technical experts gathered to engage in in-depth discussions on topics such as SASE networking and computational power. 

The event commenced with a keynote speech by the Deputy General Manager of China Unicom's Jiading District branch in Shanghai. He emphasized that in the AI era, network security is a solid foundation for driving leaps in computational power, technological innovation, and the "lifeline" of enterprises. The seminar aimed to bring together industry wisdom to explore new pathways for network security and contribute insights and strength toward building a secure and trustworthy cyberspace. 

Moving business operations to the cloud is necessary as enterprises accelerate digital transformation. In the trend of cloud-network integration, more companies seek efficient and flexible networking solutions to achieve rapid interconnection between headquarters and branches while facilitating cloud adoption, laying a solid foundation for digital transformation. 

During the event, technical experts from CypressTel and computational experts from China Unicom delivered compelling presentations titled “From SD-WAN to SASE: Advancing Network Security into the Cloud Era” and “Introduction to Shanghai Unicom’s Computational Power,” respectively. They discussed building an unbreakable network security barrier amidst the AI wave, assisting enterprises in creating secure, stable, and intelligent network environments. 

As the event co-organizer, CypressTel's technical experts focused on industries' digital transformation towards cloudification, internalization, and mobilization. They clearly explained the significant advantages of SD-WAN and SASE in ensuring enterprise network security, optimizing network connectivity, and enhancing operational efficiency. Additionally, they shared successful case studies and experiences from industries such as automotive manufacturing, new retail, and logistics on empowering enterprises through cloud solutions for comprehensive visibility, control, and robust security. CypressTel's SASE solution is built on SD-WAN network infrastructure that integrates SD-WAN networking with SASE security. Through flexible local access and secure access mechanisms, it constructs a unified visual management platform that significantly enhances management convenience and efficiency. This solution not only builds a globally distributed and secure vast area network for users but also highly integrates a full suite of security components, including WAN connectivity based on backbone networks, Access Control (AC), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), endpoint security, and firewalls. This ensures safer network access across diverse office scenarios. For digitalization within enterprises, this solution enables rapid deployment of global networks and security while achieving closed-loop management of global network security operations, significantly improving operational efficiency. 

This event provided participants with valuable opportunities to exchange ideas and share experiences while injecting new momentum into promoting digital innovation within the industry. Looking ahead, CypressTel will continue to deepen industry collaboration and explore new pathways for digital transformation while leading future trends to help enterprises build efficient, secure, and sustainable global networks.
