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

SASE Forward, everything will change for the better. The key problem to solve is how quickly humans can adapt to this solution. For effective secure communications services to function, operations, development, and support organizations must merge into one fluid team that is materially learning at least one new skill every 2 weeks. To prioritize education is to allocate increasing amounts of the work week to education. It is possible that most agile teams are those whose leadership places 20–25% of their workweek into new educational models that incentivize performance and the demonstration of new skills required by the organization.

The future is predictable based on an analysis of the past. The future is SASE at the pace we can consume it.

In the next chapter, SASE Bonus, we will start to understand SD-WAN from a basic perspective, understand the SD-WAN design best practices, feel the failure of thousands of poor designs, experience the success of correct designs...
