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.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered the management models for SASE, which include self-management, co-management, management by the service provider, operational management, and SASE success. The benefits of SASE are achieved through the effective management of an ever-changing framework of services for secure communications. SASE introduces the idea of aligning skills at the pace of DevOps methodology. Often, an organization must sacrifice ideal goals to align with the organization's primary purpose. This primary purpose is not always the most effective security or network infrastructure software development organization in the world.

Unfortunately, the organization's purpose, budget, acceptable risk, and culture make self-management of new generations of software a cost-ineffective goal. Outsourcing with effective vendor management becomes the most cost-effective means of conducting business. SASE success depends on individual and organizational evolution.
