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.

Summary

In the future, software systems will incorporate education within each software release making this approach to education feel more systematic and normal. Successful organizations will develop their own model for perpetual learning prior to that point in the market.

A perpetual, just-in-time approach to technology education is required for organizational viability. This model does not exist, and it is up to each of us to develop a way of achieving the mission of our organization prior to a permanent solution.

More information on SASE education can be found at each manufacturer, developer, service provider, and standards organization. Follow-on education is available at Mef.net under the SASE topic.

In the next chapter, SASE DevOps, we will learn how to understand DevOps as a model and how it relates to SASE, understand the fervor of the DevOps mindset, continual integration, and when and how to act on information, and explain the impact of DevOps on SASE.
