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.

Human Behavior

Generally, human behavior follows an informal cost/benefit analysis that can be compared to formal corporate analysis prior to planning meetings for the following year's budget. Despite common knowledge that humans work for reasons beyond financial benefits, consistent corporate behavior ignores the correlation. Organizations continue to hire at market rates, overtask their workers, underdevelop them, and expect great things from humans while effectively mistreating the most valuable assets of their organization. This corporate behavior is largely human in nature and is consistently disappointed that the conditioned behavior nets similar results to previously attempted versions of the same plan.

The brain performance of the average human is amazing and is virtually consumed by non-essential tasking. The ability to leverage the performance capacity available exists and is available on-demand. The human allocates this capacity for those tasks that have the highest...
