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.

Case Overview

What is a Use Case? A Use Case is a method of explaining how the final solution will be used. By describing its use, the policy and design can be developed in a relevant and meaningful way.

When researching the term Use Case, the definitions varied extensively. Multiple definitions that fit the context of this discussion revolved around the scientific or medical definitions of the term. Essentially, Use Case is a term used differently by each profession. In medical definitions, there is a study-based approach to understanding the context for the use and the result of that use. This approach allows the same product or solution to be used in separate ways to accomplish specific outcomes.

The market does not have a common definition of a SASE Use Case. Each SASE Service interprets the words Use Case in a different context. This ambiguity of these words is not problematic – it is simply a matter of perspective. This book does not define a Use Case authoritatively...
