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 Human

Understanding Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) requires a mix of skills not commonly found in one person. Due to Software Development combined with IT Operations (DevOps) methodology, a rapid approach to learning is required. Effective training must be delivered Just-in-Time (JIT), prior to implementation. The training cannot follow the formal model but instead must be developed and delivered within two to six week increments parallel to, and in conjunction with, the software release. Miss the mark on this requirement and your employer ends up in the news as the latest security failure on the market.

Leveraging a Managed Service Provider (MSP) that has multiple DevOps teams in lockstep with the primary software developers allows an organization to pivot on-demand, transfer liability, and meet the urgent needs of the organization on-demand.

In this chapter, we will discuss the isue, problem, behavior, and solution that is human, and we will dig into the pattern that...
