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.

Appendix: SASE Terms

SASE Operational

The operational environment standards for SASE are exacting. The standards must be set, refined, optimized, reviewed, reported on, and continually elevated to achieve the minimum standard for a positive UX.

In military special operations, the term operate can be considered a noun, a verb, an adjective, an expletive, a motto, and a way of life. Special operators, as they choose to call themselves, operate on a different level from their conventional military force counterparts. While the military holistically operates in a manner that honors the tradition of those who served before them by changing slowly over time, the special operations community redefines their skills and operational models as often as every time they perform a new mission. Resting on your laurels is a concept that does not have a place in the ethos of any of the world's special operations units, and neither should it fit within your organization.
