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

The potential of the future requires diligence in the present to maintain the potential for that future. Without that diligence, the future remains in a state of decline that may disappear at some point. Any science-fiction writer portraying their vision of the future offers hope in the present to change the unintended future into something more intentional. The hope is that our efforts in the present can prevent a future that we do not want.

The viability of any organization in the future is directly connected to its diligence in the present. Security is a key contributor to future success or failure. Each organization must exercise diligence in the present to create the future that they desire. Effective security provides a basis on which to build that future.

In the next chapter, SASE Services, examples of many of the services available for SASE integration are discussed, with topics that include: Services Overview, Services Core, Services Options, Services Expanse...
