If your organization has poor network connectivity and security, it can be difficult to remain productive.
Poor network security can also lead to vulnerabilities that result in cyberattacks and data breaches that can cost your organization hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair the network.
Understanding the differences between the two SASE solutions COEO offers will enable you to determine which solution best improves network security and connectivity so you can avoid cyberattacks and data breaches.
COEO understands how important reliable network connectivity and security are and has delivered thousands of SASE solutions to organizations to improve their network security and connectivity.
By the end of this article, you will understand what COEO’s SASE platform is, what secure access is, what secure internet is, what the differences are, and which one is the better choice for your organization.
What SASE platform does COEO use?
COEO partners with Versa and uses their solution as its SASE platform. The COEO approach to network architecture is that services should not be chained or connected but built as a single, integrated platform to operate with the highest levels of performance and security.
COEO SASE delivers a comprehensive, integrated SASE solution within a single software stack. This eliminates the requirement to perform service chaining, cascading, or virtual interconnect between services required by other solutions in the market.
Versa Single-Pass Parallel Processing architecture combines full-featured SD-WAN, integrated security, advanced scalable routing, genuine multi-tenancy, and sophisticated analytics into one software platform.
COEO’s SASE delivers visibility and control through a single pane of glass by providing a single interface to configure and implement corporate policies.
We protect all corporate resources with unified security policies for every session, on any device, accessing any application.
COEO provides customers with two SASE plans that Versa offers, including Secure Access and Secure Internet. COEO also offers a bundled plan that combines both solutions.
It is important to understand these plans and the differences between them so you can determine which plan is the better choice for your organization.

What is Secure Access?
Secure Access is one of the SASE plans COEO offers that organizations can choose from. Secure Access is COEO’s version of Secure Private Access but it provides much more updated security features and capabilities to secure your network and its data.
COEO’s Secure Access acts as a policy enforcement point that captures data on the connected device and the user requesting access.
Based on security policies set by the organization or service provider, Secure Access will determine which applications and data are steered to the SASE service for additional security and which can go directly to the Internet.
Secure Access secures users and applications by applying user-based policies to ensure that users who are authorized to access specific applications and data can access them securely.
What is Secure Internet?
COEO’s Secure Internet SASE solution connects users to the internet and the cloud. This Secure Internet solution offered by COEO delivers secure WiFi.
Secure Internet also enables your users to access cloud-based applications with traffic optimization.
This enables users to optimize network traffic that sends and receives the traffic with decreased latency as well as access cloud data and applications securely.
What is the difference between COEO’s Secure Access and Secure Internet SASE solutions?
Now you understand the SASE platform that COEO uses, what Secure Access is, and what Secure Internet is. However, it is also important to understand the main differences between the two SASE COEO solutions.
Understanding the differences between Secure Access and Secure Internet will help you determine which of COEO’s SASE solutions is the better choice for your organization. The differences between Secure Access and Secure Internet include:
Cost
A significant difference between Secure Access and Secure Internet is the cost of the two solutions. Secure Access costs $6.50 per user per month while Secure Internet costs $7 per user per month.
However, you can purchase the bundled plan that combines all the features and services into one solution for $9.50 per user per month.
Focus
Another difference between the two solutions is the focus. Secure Internet ensures that data sent and received over the internet is secure.
However, Secure Access enables your organization to manage the authorization and authentication of users and devices attempting to connect to your network.
Which COEO solution is the better choice for your organization?
Now you understand the SASE platform COEO uses, what Secure Access and Secure Internet are, and the differences between the two. However, it is also important that you understand which type of SASE solution is the better choice for your organization.
If your organization only needs secure WiFi that enables your organization to send, receive, upload, and download data safely over the internet, COEO Secure Internet may be the better choice.
However, if your organization is looking for a more robust solution that enables you to secure users and devices connected to your network, a Secure Access solution may be the better choice.
Lastly, for organizations in need of all these features, COEO’s bundled plan may be the best choice.
Determining which COEO SASE solution is the better choice for your organization
Now you understand the SASE platforms COEO uses, what Secure Access and Secure Internet are, the differences between these two SASE solutions, and which one is the better choice for your organization.
Organizations can’t operate effectively with poor network connectivity and security. This results in decreased employee productivity and network security vulnerabilities that lead to cyberattacks that often cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in network repairs.
Implementing a SASE solution or other network security solution that eliminates security vulnerabilities can help avoid these consequences.
However, understanding the SASE solutions that COEO offers can help you determine which SASE solution is best for your organization.
COEO understands how important network security is and has delivered thousands of SASE solutions and other network security solutions to organizations to help improve their security vulnerabilities.
We want you to understand the SASE platforms COEO uses so you can determine which COEO SASE solution is the best choice for your organization.
