Magic Quadrant for Single-Vendor SASE
Vendors or products added in this year’s report may indicate a change in the market, change in evaluation criteria, or change of focus by the vendor.

No vendors were dropped in this report.
This is the first year that Cloudflare, HPE, and Netskope met the inclusion criteria for this Magic Quadrant. The single-vendor SASE market remains dynamic, with more viable vendors and offerings now available. Multiple vendors now have a single-vendor SASE offering (nine qualify for this research). The market is maturing with over 10,000 organizations using a vendor's primary single-vendor SASE offering. The multibillion-dollar market opportunity has attracted new vendors including the three additions. Most SSE vendors have developed or acquired SD-WAN capabilities in the last 12-18 months, and most SD-WAN vendors now offer their own security stack.
A: Vendors appear in the Magic Quadrant when they meet specific inclusion criteria as of March 1, 2024. To be included, vendors must have: (1) a generally available single-vendor SASE offering, (2) all must-have capabilities delivered as cloud services, (3) minimum POP infrastructure (15+ cities across 2+ continents), (4) demonstrated customer adoption (250+ enterprise customers OR 75+ new customers OR 75+ large enterprise customers), and (5) geographic relevance (25+ customers across 2 continents). Vendors may not appear in subsequent years if they: exit the market, cease product development, fail to meet product requirements, require 3+ management consoles, cannot provide single-support experience, rely on other vendors for majority of functionality, or only deliver as managed service. New vendors like Cloudflare, HPE, and Netskope appeared this year because they newly met all inclusion criteria, particularly around product completeness and customer adoption thresholds.
