Present SASE
Presenting SASE to executive, administrative, or technical audiences requires a framework for discussion, of which a sample is provided in the following list of items, with a key understanding of each topic that may be further detailed or placed into a slide format with speaker notes:
- Introduction:
- From Framework to Managed Service:
- SASE Managed Service:
- This effective managed service offering allows for OPEX instead of CAPEX.
- Managed services are being consumed for SASE due to rapid software development ahead of effective education for engineering or operations staff.
- The right managed service offering provides orchestration, open Application Programming Interface (API) integration, Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps), and multivendor seamless integration.
- SASE Service Stakeholders:
- Actors and the Managed Service:
- Identity, Context, Situation:
- SASE Sessions:
- SASE Security:
- SASE Policies:
- Legacy firewall or router policies force specific behaviors that are not sensitive to external changes in the factors by which that policy was written.
- Automation and orchestration allow policies to be changed based on real-time conditions.
- Effective SASE policy considers all available data in the decision process.
- SASE Connectivity:
- SASE Services Use Csases:
- Looking Forward:
- The future is SASE, as it is possibly the last step in the pure cloud transformation journey that all organizations must take.
- AIOps with SASE allows for consistent, reliable, secure, and on-demand application access.
- SASE education must follow the continual learning, continual improvement path for staff.
Presenting SASE requires a balance between the past, present, and future, as well as between many independent technology focus areas. This outline provided a framework for bringing the entire audience into a SASE mindset, regardless of skill set.
