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.

Services Explain

SASE is a secure communications framework for integrating security solutions that are based on a Zero-Trust Framework (ZTF) to achieve effective secure communications.

When explaining SASE at the executive level, explain it as a cloud based, secure communications service that replaces many of your firewall, WAN, remote access, and application security products. When explaining it to security, network, or application development teams, SASE, or Secure Access Service Edge, is the next-generation way of combining cloud security, firewall security, and network security. It allows for interdependent security policies to become effective.

SASE-based services provide integrated security policies for all IT-based solutions. Each service in its legacy form was a stand-alone service that may have been sold as the only service purchased by the subscriber at that time. The challenge has been to develop a comprehensive security offering that allows for effective secure communications...
