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.

SASE Learn

SASE is a moving target that will not stop evolving. How do you learn something that is perpetually becoming more complex daily? How do you get ahead of the requirements? Where can you independently research this subject?

SASE is THE new standard for secure communications. It does not follow the pattern for previous technical implementation, thereby making previous skills irrelevant to the conversation. In the past, all technology was a mathematical improvement on previous generations of technology. Any improvement can be taught as an incremental supplement education to the existing curriculum available in the market. SASE, SD-WAN, and Zero Trust models are not incremental changes to the previous solutions. They are not subject to the rules and the developer has creative license to innovate as their solutions are divorced from the hardware requirements. This is achieved through abstraction such as the use of a hypervisor that normalizes behavior for the hardware. The...
