Summary
SASE service should be considered a marketing term that depends on security engineering teams to validate compliance with a fully integrated ZTF.
The requirement for effective security drives the requirement for a fully integrated solution that combines every attribute we can collect and identify. Each attribute can then be included in policy-based decisions to allow secure communications. The more we can learn about the answers to who, what, when, why, and where, the more effective the policies become.
There is no future model that allows discrete, disparate, divided, disjoined, or disintegrated technology-based services. Each service must be interdependent for an effective policy.
In the next chapter, we will look into establishing, monitoring, and enforcing the configuration, policy, and performance of any given component of SASE, or the SASE overall solution.
