SD-WAN/SASE
We make it easier to manage your network and secure your users
A smarter approach to network management and cybersecurity.
SASE unifies the SD-WAN network and SSE (Security Service Edge) capabilities into a single, cloud-delivered solution. It ensures your users can connect securely and reliably from anywhere—without the performance trade-offs or complexity of legacy approaches.
But how can you get there? That’s where FirstLight makes the difference.

More Performance. More Security. Fewer Headaches.
It’s time to move on from the old way of managing your network and securing your users. FirstLight helps you implement a smarter path forward with SASE. By combining SD-WAN and cloud-delivered security, you’ll get a network that’s more resilient, easier to manage, and ready for what’s next.
Why FirstLight for SASE & SD-WAN?
Expert Guidance, Real Results
We don’t just offer the technology—we help you design and implement it for your business. From policy enforcement to traffic steering, our experts can guide you every step of the way to get the most from your SASE stack.
Built on Our Network
Many SASE vendors rely on third-party networks. Not FirstLight. Our SD-WAN and Secure Internet Gateway (SIG) runs across our own high-performance fiber network. That means better control, tighter integration, and lower latency.
Local Support, Always On
Our team is based in the Northeast and available 24x7. When issues arise—or when you just need advice—you’ll speak with someone who knows your environment and is ready to help.
What’s Included?
No more firewalls left unpatched or insecure. A cloud-delivered firewall gives you centralized protection and management for stronger security, and fewer headaches
Yesterday’s WAN was static and costly. FirstLight’s SD-WAN brings flexibility, visibility, and performance—built for how business works today
Block threats before they ever reach your network. DNS-layer security keeps malware, phishing, and risky domains out while protecting users anywhere they connect.
Control and visibility for all your cloud apps. A CASB helps you enforce policies, protect sensitive data, and keep shadow IT in check without slowing anyone down.
No more blind spots in web traffic. An SWG protects against malicious sites and enforces safe browsing, so users stay secure no matter where they work.
Don’t wait to be the last to know. Advanced threat intelligence spots emerging attacks early, giving you the upper hand against evolving cyber threats.
Forget the VPN headaches. ZTNA verifies every user and device every time, delivering seamless, secure access to apps without exposing your network.
The Outcome?
Simplified management. Stronger security. Better performance. And a provider that’s with you the whole way.
Let’s design your secure edge together.
