Open Systems Introduces Autonomous SASE to Simplify AI-Powered Security Operations

Zurich, Switzerland, 16 July 2026 – Open Systems today announced the evolution of its flagship SASE Experience offering into Autonomous SASE, reflecting the company’s vision for the next generation of enterprise security operations. Built on a fully integrated Security Service Edge (SSE) and SD-WAN platform, Autonomous SASE combines AI-powered operational intelligence with more than 35 years of expertise, enabling organizations to consume security operations as a continuously improving service rather than a collection of technologies and workflows. It reduces complexity, strengthens cyber resilience and achieves better security and network outcomes.

Artificial intelligence is transforming cybersecurity. While AI enables organizations to automate routine tasks and process vast amounts of operational data, it also introduces new complexity and higher expectations around governance, accountability and operational resilience. As a result, enterprise security is shifting beyond technology deployment toward operating models that combine intelligent automation with expert human oversight.

Autonomous SASE is Open Systems’ response to this shift. Built on more than 35 years of securing and operating some of the world’s most demanding enterprise environments, it combines AI-powered automation with decades of operational expertise and insights gained from real-world security operations. Every customer deployment, operational insight and expert decision contributes to a continuously evolving operational knowledge base. Rather than each security team building expertise in isolation, customers benefit from insights, best practices and operational experience accumulated across thousands of incidents and decades of security operations..

Autonomous SASE also gives organizations the flexibility to determine how security operations are performed. Customers can choose where automation acts independently, where expert oversight remains mandatory, and where their own teams wish to stay involved. This allows organizations to adopt AI at their own pace while maintaining full governance and control. The evolution to Autonomous SASE also builds on AI capabilities already delivering value to customers today. Intelligent assistants such as Lucy are helping organizations simplify operations through AI-powered insights and automation, demonstrating how AI can enhance, not replace, expert-led security operations. Within months of its introduction, more than 60% of Open Systems customers had adopted Lucy, validating customer demand for AI that makes operational expertise instantly accessible rather than simply automating tasks.

“Organizations don’t need more security tools, they need access to better security operations,” said Dennis Monner, CEO of Open Systems. “Autonomous SASE allows customers to combine AI, automation and expert-led operations in the way that best fits their business. The result is not just faster operations, but the ability to benefit from decades of operational expertise that can be applied consistently across every environment.”

Unlike traditional approaches that primarily focus on managing networking and security technologies, Autonomous SASE continuously applies AI to analyze operational context, recommend actions, surface relevant expertise and automate repetitive activities. This enables expert teams to focus on governance, threat investigations and outcome-driven decisions rather than operational overhead. Experienced Level 3 security engineers remain responsible for governance, complex investigations and critical decisions, ensuring that automation is always paired with transparency, accountability and human judgment.

The introduction of Autonomous SASE marks the next evolution of Open Systems’ managed SASE offering and reflects the company’s continued investment in AI-powered security operations, including intelligent automation, advanced operational analytics and agentic AI capabilities. Autonomous SASE reflects Open Systems’ conviction that the future of cybersecurity lies in making operational expertise scalable, accessible and continuously improving.
