T-Mobile recently unveiled a comprehensive plan tailored for companies, and now AT&T is introducing its own innovative offering. Partnering with Cisco, AT&T Business has launched AT&T Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) with Cisco, a cloud-based networking and security platform designed to cater to businesses of all sizes. This collaboration aims to provide robust and scalable tools that simplify the management of IT infrastructure, enhance protection against cyber threats, and ensure reliable connectivity for employees whether they are in the office, working remotely, or traveling.
AT&T SASE with Cisco aims to simplify the complexities of networking and security by offering a unified, cloud-native platform. With multilayer security, smart routing powered by SD-WAN, full visibility and reporting capabilities, automated security workflows, and multi-cloud connectivity, this solution streamlines IT management and ensures end-to-end protection for users, devices, and data.

Today's businesses require solutions that not only enable seamless connectivity but also provide advanced security to protect their devices and data. Our long-standing relationship with Cisco allows us to deliver a unified, cloud-based service that simplifies network management and enhances security for businesses to safely grow and adapt in a rapidly changing environment.
Key highlights of AT&T SASE with Cisco:
- Multilayer security with Secure Service Edge (SSE).
- Smart routing and optimization powered by SD-WAN.
- Full visibility and reporting from the edge all the way to the cloud.
- Automated security workflows and real-time threat detection.
- Multi-cloud connectivity for easy integration across different platforms.
- Simplified IT management with one unified service instead of juggling multiple tools.
- End-to-end protection for users, devices, and data, no matter where they connect from.
If it still sounds confusing, here is the simple version: it is a new way for businesses to handle both networking and security in one place.
So, for companies, that translates into:
- Easier management: fewer tools to juggle, one provider to handle it all.
- Stronger security: protection follows employees wherever they are.
- Better performance: apps and services stay smooth and reliable.
AT&T's first similar move this year. Earlier in 2025, it also partnered with cybersecurity giant Palo Alto Networks on a similar cloud-based security solution aimed at keeping businesses even safer online.
