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.

The value of any solution without a positive user experience should be considered zero. The profitability leader in almost any category is the one with the most positive UX.

A positive and productive focus should be on the positive UX category for the primary justification of ROI. Within non-profit and governmental organizations, the ROI for positive user interaction with the organization is manifested in funding increases that may not be forecasted. Natural laws observed provide positive ROI for altruistic investments. For profit-seeking organizations, the financial benefits are more quickly realized for positive UX.

Positive UX provides intangible benefits to every organization through more subtle sources such as reduced incidents, escalations, and administrative...
