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 Forward

In the future, SASE services will be completely different from what is available today. Similar to the history of x86 computer hardware, it will be predictable and, therefore, a pattern emerges that allows the diligent to stay ahead of the next change.

The future is only predictable through the lens of history. Ignoring history has been the cause of the fall of many organizations, governments, countries, and whole civilizations that have ceased to exist. The further we can travel back in time through history, the more patterns become observable.

The future is very much a SASE services future. It is time to embrace the model of perpetual learning. It is time to realize that in the world, there are changes, threats, risks, issues, and barriers to success. The way to meet each new issue is through conquering your personal fears, your organizational fears, and your cultural fears.

A new model requires a perpetual state of change within your person, organization, and...
