SASE Has An AI Blind Spot. Inspecting Packets Is No Longer Enough.

Summary: The article argues that traditional SASE cloud proxies, which decrypt and inspect traffic, are being defeated by TLS 1.3, HTTP/3, and certificate pinning, which cause client applications to drop connections when a proxy attempts interception. It says this forces network teams to write bypass exceptions, and that a proxy sees only a valid encrypted HTTPS connection to an LLM provider, not payload intent such as an autonomous agent using model context protocol tool calls to pull proprietary code or internal documentation.
What's compelling: Every bypass exception written to keep a business-critical tool running shrinks the security perimeter one application at a time, and by the time an AI interaction reaches a network inspection point, the moment of intent has already passed.
