TLDR: Aryaka Networks Inc. has launched Unified SASE as a Service 2.0, a new platform designed to enhance security for the growing hybrid workforce and to safeguard the adoption of artificial intelligence applications. Key features include Universal Zero Trust Network Access and AI>Secure, addressing critical needs for secure, high-performance connectivity without compromising security.
Aryaka Networks Inc., a leading secure access service edge provider, today announced the release of its Unified SASE as a Service 2.0 platform. This significant update is engineered to address the evolving demands of remote work environments and the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies within enterprises. The platform aims to ensure that users can securely connect to any application, from any location, with optimal performance, simplicity, and agility.
The Unified SASE 2.0 platform introduces two major new capabilities: Aryaka Universal Zero Trust Network Access and Aryaka AI>Secure. These enhancements were developed in response to direct customer feedback, as highlighted by Renuka Nadkarni, Chief Product Officer at Aryaka. Nadkarni stated, “First, organizations need to expand secure, high-performance network connectivity to hybrid workforce across the globe. Second, they need help safeguarding their generative AI apps and services. Our Unified SASE as a Service 2.0 does both, without any tradeoffs between networking and security.”
Aryaka Universal Zero Trust Network Access is designed to provide zero-trust access to any application from anywhere. This feature enforces consistent, identity- and posture-based access control across all edges of Aryaka’s Zero Trust WAN, encompassing users, applications, and locations. It offers enterprises comprehensive visibility and control over application access, reduces reliance on traditional VPNs, minimizes the risk of lateral movement within networks, and streamlines policy enforcement through Aryaka’s unified platform.
The second pivotal capability, Aryaka AI>Secure, is specifically tailored to protect enterprises by securing employee access to public generative AI applications and safeguarding internal generative AI services. This service is capable of blocking prompt injection attacks, identifying and eliminating ‘Shadow AI’ (unauthorized AI usage), protecting against knowledge leakage, reducing generative AI-specific security risks, and maintaining compliance within a rapidly changing threat landscape. It achieves this through centralized policy enforcement, real-time monitoring, and intelligent traffic classification.

Furthermore, Unified SASE 2.0 ensures that all generative AI traffic flows, whether involving software-as-a-service (SaaS), cloud AI services, or legacy applications, are both zero-trust-secured and high-performance from the first mile to the last. The platform also includes Aryaka Next-Gen Data Loss Prevention, which utilizes AI-powered natural language processing, granular policy tuning, and contextual pattern recognition to protect data in motion across networks, applications, locations, and users.
