What context factors do modern SASE platforms analyze to make intelligent access decisions?

Leading SASE platforms analyze five critical dimensions through context-aware engines: user identity and risk score, device posture and management status, location and time context, application type and sensitivity, and data classification and handling requirements. This multi-dimensional analysis enables nuanced decisions like allowing document access while blocking downloads, permitting read-only access from unmanaged devices, or requiring additional authentication for sensitive data access. Traditional security makes binary allow/deny decisions; modern SASE provides graduated response based on comprehensive context analysis. Our context-aware security deployment eliminates security-productivity trade-offs through intelligent policy enforcement.
