In SASE, there is no trust! SASE has been identified as an evolutionary, secure communications service. It is based on a collection of existing services. The standards being developed for SASE are providing a revolutionary improvement in how secure communications are achieved. Every few weeks, SASE evolves through the DevOps process. In production, the foundation for effective SASE is a Zero Trust Framework (ZTF).

With the ZTF, all resources, systems, communications, and so on are closed by default, and only by successfully meeting security policy requirements are resources unlocked. Imagine network cards that only receive electrical signaling once all policy requirements are met. In the ZTF, switch ports would require active Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) approval prior to allowing a specific network card to receive any access to the port. There are potentially hundreds of layers of security that can be employed through the ZTF, and all those security controls can...
