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 Managed

SASE is a different approach that requires the experience level of the best engineers to be reset to zero. It is time to start the educational process over and set aside pride to humbly achieve SASE success. Once at zero, the process can take six weeks to six months to achieve basic proficiency with design, implementation, and troubleshooting skills. Unless your organization is an infrastructure or network security software developer as your primary revenue source, an ROI will not be forthcoming, and re-tooling the network and security engineering team offers little value to shareholders or customers. Outsourcing to the correct Managed Services Partner (MSP) allows the technology to provide business value much more quickly and allows the technology to change at the speed of the market.

In this chapter, we will discuss management topics, basic management models, the value of each management model, how to make SASE effective to scale, and the sub-components needed to...
