Aryaka Announces Unified SASE as a Service 2.0

Aryaka, a Unified SASE-as-a-Service provider, recently announced the launch of Aryaka Unified SASE as a Service 2.0. This new platform incorporates features to support remote work and AI adoption.

Platform addresses security needs related to distributed work and AI deployments

The new platform ensures a secure connection to any application, anywhere, with performance, simplicity, and agility. Among the new capabilities are Aryaka Universal Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and Aryaka AI>Secure.

“We’ve listened closely to customers over the past year, and that feedback has guided the development of Aryaka Unified SASE 2.0. The company learned a couple key things: First, organizations need to expand secure, high-performance network connectivity to hybrid workforce across the globe. Second, they need help safeguarding their GenAI apps and services,” said Renuka Nadkarni, chief product officer at Aryaka. “Our Unified SASE as a Service 2.0 does both, without any tradeoffs between networking and security.”

Universal ZTNA

Aryaka cites research from Roy Chua, Founder and Principal at AvidThink, which found that enterprises are rapidly converging networking and security to support AI-driven growth. Almost none of the organizations surveyed in this research plan to delay convergence indefinitely, underscoring that unified approaches like Aryaka’s Unified SASE as a Service 2.0 are becoming essential for the AI and remote-work era.

Aryaka Universal ZTNA enables Zero Trust access to any application from anywhere. This new feature is available natively in Aryaka Unified SASE 2.0. It enforces consistent identity and posture-based access control across all edges of Aryaka’s Zero Trust WAN, including users, apps, and locations. 

This enables enterprises to gain complete visibility and control over application access, reduce reliance on legacy VPNs, minimize risk from lateral movement, and simplify policy enforcement through Aryaka’s unified platform.

“Generative and Agentic AI are changing how and where work gets done. That means the supporting network and security posture must evolve accordingly,” said Chua. “With a fully-converged approach to networking and security, Aryaka Unified SASE as a Service 2.0 can help enterprises gain the performance, protection, and visibility needed to confidently adopt AI at scale, in both on-premises and hybrid environments. Its secure converged offering allows organizations to innovate without exposing intellectual property and assets.”

AI>Secure

As part of the Unified SASE as a Service 2.0 platform, Aryaka AI>Secure is a feature that helps organizations support and accelerate GenAI adoption, complementing the platform’s previously announced AI>Observe and AI>Perform capabilities.

AI>Secure protects enterprises by securing employee access to public GenAI applications and safeguarding internal GenAI services. The solution blocks prompt injections, token flooding, malicious code, URL, and jailbreaks, while enforcing content-safety and sentiment controls.

The solution features centralized policy enforcement, real-time monitoring, and intelligent traffic classification, while helping enterprises securely innovate with AI by identifying and eliminating shadow AI, protecting against knowledge leakage, reducing GenAI-specific security risks, and maintaining compliance in the threat landscape.

“Aryaka Unified SASE 2.0 represents a natural evolution from our 1.0 platform,” said Nadkarni. “With significant additions like Universal ZTNA, AI>Secure, and Next-Gen DLP, this new service gives enterprises all the tools they need to accelerate their businesses in the age of remote work and GenAI. Unified SASE 2.0 offers the only truly converged networking and security experience in the industry.”

AI>Secure is expected to be available in Q1 2026.

Other key features of Aryaka Unified SASE as a Service 2.0

Among the key features that this new solution has are:

• Aryaka Next-Gen DLP delivering advanced data loss prevention: This feature leverages AI-powered natural language processing, granular policy tuning, and contextual pattern recognition to protect data in motion between networks, applications, locations, and users. Users get real-time visibility into sensitive data flows, stop data loss at the source, and meet compliance requirements with less operational overhead.
• GenAI Traffic protecting and empowering GenAI interactions: Aryaka Unified SASE 2.0 ensures that all GenAI traffic flows — spanning SaaS, cloud AI services, and legacy applications — is secured with zero trust and performs at peak levels from first mile to last.
• Refreshed My Aryaka simplifies visibility and policy enforcement: The convergence of network and security requires a user experience that caters to multiple personas. The platform’s updated My Aryaka home page enhances efficiency and expedites access to essential information. Its improved landing page provides instant visibility into critical network and security data, helping teams save valuable time and effort.
• Operationalizing Threat Research: Aryaka researchers monitor underground ecosystems, dark web forums, and live attack telemetry to uncover new tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by adversaries. Updated in real time, this intelligence is used by Aryaka’s detection engines to ensure users are informed and up to date on emerging malware families and AI-generated attacks earlier in the kill chain.

Over 65 customers have deployed Aryaka’s Unified SASE solution since the introduction of the 1.0 version in March 2024. The organizations span manufacturing, transportation, technology, retail, and other sectors.

Just a few weeks ago, Aryaka made a significant move in the channel by launching its very own partner program. Learn more about this program, backed by Michael McCollough as a new strategic adviser.
