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.

Case Insight

Effective SASE design focuses on user requirements, as well as building upon ZTF. The Use Case should supply a visualization of the desired outcome from an end user perspective. The UX should be considered the ultimate quality and performance indicator for the solution. Security from ZTF is inherent and therefore the design goal is to not inhibit ZTF.

Effective compensation for SASE teams should be tied to UX. SASE is a common way of supplying secure communications for end users, devices, and systems to enable organizations to serve their customers. Without a positive user experience, customers, and ultimately your financial success is impacted. Positive UX can only be provided through effective security and for this reason, both concepts are symbiotic and indivisible.

How does a Use Case affect SASE? A Use Casee ultimately makes SASE a concept that can be digested in bite-sized pieces. Designing an MVP for a specific use case allows the architect to develop a SASE...
