SASE Overview and Textbook Notes

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a technology that delivers WAN and security controls as a cloud service directly to the connection source, improving latency by eliminating the need to backhaul traffic to data centers. It focuses on security through digital identity and real-time context rather than traditional appliances like firewalls. The term was introduced in 2019 by Gartner analyst Neil MacDonald.

A secure access service edge (SASE) (also secure access secure edge) is technology used to

deliver wide area network (WAN) and security controls as a cloud computing service directly to the
source of connection (user, device, Internet of things (IoT) device, or edge computing location)
rather than a data center.[1] It uses cloud and edge computing technologies to reduce
the latency that results from backhauling all WAN traffic over long distances to one or a few
corporate data centers, due to the increased movement off-premises of dispersed users and their
applications.[2] This also helps organizations support dispersed users.

Security is based on digital identity, real-time context, and company and regulatory
compliance policies, rather than a security appliance like a firewall. A digital identity may be
attached to anything from a person to a device, cloud service, application software, IoT system, or
any computing system.[2]

The term was coined in 2019 by market analyst, Neil MacDonald of Gartner.[3]
