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.

Forward Future

The future will see an explosion in the market of the number of services that become part of the SASE ecosystem. At the time of writing, dozens of services have been classified as SASE across many different service providers, software developers, and system integrators. SASE should be considered synonymous with any security product or service and most network services going forward. The key to effective SASE remains integration to allow each service to communicate and mitigate issues created across an ecosystem.

An API backbone solution is a key component to reducing the amount of effort and time required to integrate each new service as soon as it is subscribed to by any part of an organization. Integration that takes longer than 1 day will become unacceptable to any organization, and real-time integration within seconds of subscription will become the new normal pace of integration.
