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.

Throughout history, technological innovations have been treated with disdain and violence. It is often felt that innovation causes winners and losers, which in turn causes strife. Many wars throughout history have been related to the changes caused by technical advances in society. Fear and anxiety come from change, which often has led to inaction. This inaction has been detrimental and often deadly. Each time a major societal change occurs, the early adopters benefit in a disproportionate measure from the mid- and late adopters. For this reason, the people that can spot a trend in the initial stages and then take positive action become the winners. Those who fight the change while lagging become the losers. Those who follow the trend without lagging benefit in many ways by consuming what the winner has achieved.

The purpose of this chapter is to enable you to join the winners in embracing the change in trend from physically defined to software-defined, secure communications...
