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 Communication

To communicate the necessities of SASE Service Design, it is necessary to differentiate legacy and future solutions. That differentiation starts with the understanding that the SASE Service Design will require a combination of skills from all technology teams within the organization. Any team missing in this effort is at risk of their scope being blocked from all communications within the company as well as externally.

SASE design is the process by which the service for secure communications is created and validated, and the operational models are identified by all service functions. The design process is not a paper-based exercise alone. In the process of design, DevOps models are used to prove, pilot, test, revise, iterate, and operationalize a Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
