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 concept of a Use Case for design is several thousands of years old. Increasingly, over the past 100 years, we have moved beyond the pursuit of perfection and into an age where humans believe perfection is possible. Perfection is not possible. The pursuit of perfection is where most of the good things in life happen. The pursuit of perfection in every aspect of your life is a journey where you are acting in the best interest of others while being selfless or altruistic. Designing for the UX is altruistic and deeply satisfying as it helps our fellow humans. This is a concept above profit that has proven to enhance profitability.

In the next chapter, Chapter 15, SASE Design, we will discuss how design for SASE leverages concepts in DevOps, security, SD-WAN, and the cloud and displaces legacy LAN/WAN design principles primarily due to disaggregation of the data plane and the control plane activity, which changes the paradigm. We will provide Design Overview, Theory, Function...
