Diving into Secure Access Service Edge

By: Jeremiah

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.

Summary

On the market, many services offer reasonable levels of cybersecurity. Is reasonable a good enough standard for your organization? Is it worth the effort to be perpetually vigilant with an ever-evolving security model? Is it reasonable to expect your experts to be constantly learning new methods to ensure that your organization is safe from attack? Ultimately, you are the person that answers these questions with what you do with the information you have received so far in your journey. Is it worth the effort to out-evolve the threat?

Zero trust is a philosophy to approach secure communications. It requires diligence in execution that is aided through perpetual learning, perpetual monitoring, and perpetual adaptation of policy.

In the next chapter, we will outline a new model for learning. SASE is a moving target that will not stop evolving. How do you learn something that is perpetually becoming more complex daily? How do you get ahead of the requirements? Where can you...
