Diving into Secure Access Service Edge

Overview of this book

The SASE concept was coined by Gartner after seeing a pattern emerge in cloud and SD-WAN projects where full security integration was needed. The market behavior lately has sparked something like a "space race" for all technology manufacturers and cloud service providers to offer a "SASE" solution. The current training available in the market is minimal and manufacturer-oriented, with new services being released every few weeks. Professional architects and engineers trying to implement SASE need to take a manufacturer-neutral approach. This guide provides a foundation for understanding SASE, but it also has a lasting impact because it not only addresses the problems that existed at the time of publication, but also provides a continual learning approach to successfully lead in a market that evolves every few weeks. Technology teams need a tool that provides a model to keep up with new information as it becomes available and stay ahead of market hype. With this book, you’ll learn about crucial models for SASE success in designing, building, deploying, and supporting operations to ensure the most positive user experience (UX). In addition to SASE, you’ll gain insight into SD-WAN design, DevOps, zero trust, and next-generation technical education methods.

Dimensional Identity

The multi-dimensional security solutions provided by MFA allow the SASE solution to build a picture of who or what is accessing the system. This complexity allows the security system to maintain a digital identity for each user or device accessing the system. This identity becomes more complex each time the system is accessed, much in the same way as humans develop a more complex understanding of who a person is with each encounter.

This example shows the compounding nature of each interaction with a specific person you meet. Imagine meeting a person via a telephone call and then meeting them in person. Each encounter builds a more complex understanding of who that person is. Humans leverage every sense as well as every sentence to form what they consider to be that person’s identity. If someone were to call us pretending to be someone who we had previously had multiple interactions with, we would feel that something is off. Each interaction drives the...
