BT evidence record 1.2

BT's SASE proposition - naming/branding, how BT positions SASE vs SD-WAN vs 'Secure Connect' type offerings

Product & Proposition Overview | Confirmed | Last verified 2026-08-30

Evidence finding

BT brands its SASE offering as a 'managed SASE service', though it also gets referenced elsewhere as SD-WAN with SSE/SASE capabilities layered on top. The latest iteration, from November 2024, runs on Fortinet and is marketed around helping customers 'seamlessly transition from managed SD-WAN to SASE'.

What the buyer should do

Ask BT to itemise the included licences, security functions and managed-service components.

This procurement action is Netify guidance. The evidence finding above remains Harry Yelland's sourced research.
