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.

Design Support

Support is someone else’s job… or is it? The traditional separation of work function by skill set or subject matter expertise is the method for scaling services. Unfortunately, it has not worked for many years. The industry continues to leverage the non-functional model as it represents academic best practices to achieve a multiplier of results from the workforce within any organization. Interestingly, this is often referred to as the factory model. More interesting is that the factory model has moved to Just-in-Time (JIT) and will be moving to something that looks more like a three-dimensional print-on-demand where demanded. The challenge of leveraging the model to scale the industrial revolution is the gap between the 1760s and today. We are in the fourth generation, which we call Industry 4.0, and our staffing model leverages division of labor from more than 250 years ago.
