Harry holds a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science from the University of East Anglia and serves as a Cybersecurity Writer here at Netify, providing expertise in SD-WAN and SASE architectures.
CrowdStrike Falcon through BADR is, in our view, one of the stronger resell opportunities currently available through BT, making it an ideal solution for the SMB market which is significantly underserved on device protection.
Since March 2026, BT One Phone has been switched off - however for most BT customers, the practical replacement is BT Cloud Voice, BT Cloud Voice plus BT Business Mobile or Microsoft Teams Phone via BT.
Within the financial sector, many services still rely on protocols designed long before web browsers, API gateways or cloud security nodes existed, and given that much of SASE guidance is designed towards HTTPS and REST, financial organisations need to understand how SASE can support these legacy protocols, especially for high-value workflows. According to Dell'Oro Group, the global SASE market grew 21 per cent year-on-year in Q3 2025 to nearly $3 billion in quarterly revenue, whilst spending o
Traditional models built on multi-vendor stacks, regional MPLS contracts and bolt-on security appliances tend to come with greater operational complexity, inconsistent policy enforcement and coverage gaps, therefore the choice to move to SASE has become increasingly popular.
Vendor-neutral comparison of 10 managed SASE providers for 2026. Netify evaluates Cato Networks, Aryaka, NTT, BT, Verizon and more on security, PoP coverage and pricing to help you shortlist, not just browse.
With food retails facing the task of not only optimising for perishable goods but also tackling the likes of PCI compliance and always-on store experiences, SD-WAN has become an essential network component.
The latest insights from Fortinet and Gartner reveal that rather than piecing together multiple vendors, businesses are now opting for unified SASE architectures to benefit from more aligned security processes, greater operational efficiency and improved cost performance.
Retail procurement teams evaluating SD-WAN and SASE vendor proposals face a fundamental challenge: inconsistent responses make fair comparison difficult without a standardised framework in place.
Retail SD-WAN and SASE RFPs require sector-specific requirements. Structured procurement processes ensure vendors respond to comparable criteria rather than submitting proposals lead by marketing that obscure capability gaps.
Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) fundamentally changes traditional deployment models by eliminating the requirement for technical staff at each location. Retailers can ship SD-WAN appliances directly to store managers who have no networking expertise.
When internet connectivity fails at a retail location, the impact can be catastrophic – in stores during peak hours, a five minute outage can result in abandoned trolleys and lost sales.
Traditional flat network architectures leave every device "in scope" for audit, creating compliance headaches and exposing payment data to lateral movement attacks. Find out how SD-WAN fixes that.
