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.

Summary

SASE service should be considered a marketing term that depends on security engineering teams to validate compliance with a fully integrated ZTF.

The requirement for effective security drives the requirement for a fully integrated solution that combines every attribute we can collect and identify. Each attribute can then be included in policy-based decisions to allow secure communications. The more we can learn about the answers to who, what, when, why, and where, the more effective the policies become.

There is no future model that allows discrete, disparate, divided, disjoined, or disintegrated technology-based services. Each service must be interdependent for an effective policy.

In the next chapter, we will look into establishing, monitoring, and enforcing the configuration, policy, and performance of any given component of SASE, or the SASE overall solution.
