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.

Access Identity

IAM allows you to validate who or what is accessing anything that’s protected in the ZTF. Before accessing the ZTF, an identity must be established in a manner that’s acceptable to the ZTF. MFA is often required to verify the identity of a SASE solution. At the time of writing, MFA is a required tool for almost every high-security standard, SASE Service, ZTF, VPN, and almost every compliance standard and government regulation. MFA is a prevalent requirement that should be considered the default requirement for all secure solutions.

The United States of America’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides standard definitions of technology concepts and defines a common understanding of security concepts.

NIST provides eight separate definitions of identity. The intersecting thoughts for the concept of identity are unique, distinguishing, and recognizable attributes. Each separate definition tries to establish a mechanism...
