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 this chapter, we covered the downside to the manual operation of SASE, the benefit of templates, effective API integration, how to orchestrate SASE in an effective to-scale model, and the benefits of automation.

By orchestrating and automating the SASE solution, we reduce the educational requirements required to operate and scale SASE. The acceleration of complex technical solutions will not slow down in the future. As technology leaders, we must leverage the disaggregation of solution components to create a modular service substitution approach. This method of breaking down the solution into smaller pieces and applying strict orchestration policies makes the whole solution easier for the AIOps platform to operate.

In the next chapter, Chapter 5, SASE SD-WAN, we will be detailing the relationship between SD-WAN and SASE with sections on the SD-What, SD-Why, SD-How, SD-When, and SD-SASE that speaks to the effective integrated solution.
