Over the past decade, the IT world has changed dramatically. In the latter part of the twenty-tens digital transformation projects, cloud strategies, automation and the adoption of SaaS applications were on the agenda for many businesses. Most workforces went to a place of work daily, and IT teams had control over the location of their users and endpoints, so they focused on centralising their security.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Then the global pandemic that was Covid hit in 2020, and the focus shifted onto how businesses could operate when suddenly their workforce became remote overnight. Most businesses had an I.T. Security architecture based on a central location that protected people in the office and not outside of it.\u00a0With employees working from many different locations and using different devices to access apps and data, the attack surface increased significantly, and it opened business operations up to more threats that they didn\u2019t previously have to protect themselves against.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to the post-pandemic world, for many businesses, hybrid working has become the normal, meaning workforces remain widely distributed, and the security perimeter is no longer in one specific location. \u00a0It is everywhere.<\/p>\n

Most companies have however not changed the infrastructure to secure the traffic passing across their network and still route all cloud traffic through their data centre to be able to leverage existing traditional perimeter protections.<\/p>\n

But this \u2018traditional\u2019 network security architecture was designed for yesterday\u2019s problems.\u00a0 They offer inefficient and insecure access, inelastic scalability and deployment complexity, as well as resulting in poor user experience.<\/p>\n

As such, the old architectural model of backhauling traffic to data centres no longer makes sense as more users and apps are now outside the enterprise.<\/p>\n

So how can businesses ensure that they embrace digital transformation, stay in control of their users and the applications and data sources that their employees are accessing, and above all, still deliver a good user experience securely?<\/p>\n

The solution is to adopt the Gartner coined phrase Secure Access Service Edge or SASE, as a holistic approach to networking and security.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

So what exactly is SASE?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

SASE is seen as a networking and security architecture that is made up of SD-WAN and SSE or Secure Service Edge, consolidating networking and security as a service into a cloud-delivered service at the network edge.<\/p>\n


\nSecure Service Edge (SSE)<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

SSE or Secure Service Edge is a collection of cloud-centric security capabilities that facilitates safe access to websites, software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications and private applications*. \u00a0In simple terms, this means that if adopted, a business will have a comprehensive set of cyber security technologies to secure remote access to applications, data, tools and other corporate resources and monitor and track behaviour once users access the network. Where a workforce is hybrid, or remote securing mobile users and the data and apps they access is vital.<\/p>\n

Broken down, SSE is made up of, but not limited to, \u00a0Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Cloud Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) and Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS).<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore these in more detail:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Zero Trust Network Access<\/strong> (ZTNA)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The application of Zero Trust Network Access<\/strong>\u00a0(ZTNA)<\/strong> removes the implicit trust that was automatically applied in traditional networks where users had full access to everything. The default for ZTNA is deny, providing access only to services once the user has been explicitly granted.<\/p>\n

ZTNA is essentially a security framework and access method that works on a principle of never trust and always verify.<\/p>\n

The layers of inspection and enforcement include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Centralised Visibility and Control: Visibility of your network traffic including the location of data storage and who is able to access the data.<\/li>\n
  • Identity-Based Authentication: Applying precise least-privileged access users with continuous monitoring of user behaviours for malicious activity and signs of credential theft, malware and data loss.<\/li>\n
  • Uniform Security Policies: Enforcing security policies on all corporate-owned and third-party applications regardless of where the data resides.<\/li>\n
  • Granular, Role-Based Access: Granting user access only to the data required for a job role and restrict access based on the type of device and location used to connect.<\/li>\n
  • Post-Connect Threat Monitoring: Ensuring that ZTNA capabilities are still working and able to detect if an attacker is still able to access the businesses network and detect an attacker based on their network activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In summary, ZTNA essentially redirects the user traffic through a security broker, which then verifies the identity of the device or user. It checks on security, compliance, and posture.\u00a0It only then allows that device or a user to a network or a specific corporate resource and offers a very granular visibility into user\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

    Secure Web Gateway (SWG)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    The Secure Web Gateway (SWG)<\/strong>\u00a0component of SASE allows remote users to connect to the Internet through a cloud-based proxy solution, which essentially sits between the user and the Internet and offers similar security functionality as the next generation firewalls did in the traditional work from the offices model.<\/p>\n

    Instead of connecting directly to a website, a user accesses the Secure Web Gateway, which is then responsible for connecting the user to the desired website and performing functions such as URL filtering, web visibility, malicious content inspection, web access controls and other security measures.<\/p>\n

    Because the Secure Web Gateway is based in the cloud, it also means that the user traffic doesn\u2019t have to trombone through corporate firewalls which improves the latency and end user experience without compromising levels of Cyber Security protection.<\/p>\n

    Cloud Access Security Broker<\/strong>\u00a0(CASB)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Cloud Access Security Broker<\/strong>\u00a0(CASB) <\/strong>solutions help businesses discover where their data is across multiple software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. It can detect when data is moving across cloud environments, on-prem data centres or being accessed by mobile workers.<\/p>\n

    Security, governance and compliance are enforced by policies which allow only authorised users to access and consume cloud resources while enabling businesses to effectively and consistently protect their data across multiple locations.<\/p>\n

    Firewall-as-a-Service\u00a0(FWaaS)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    Firewall-as-a-service<\/strong>\u00a0(FWaaS) <\/strong>enables firewalls to be delivered as part of a business\u2019s cloud infrastructure to protect cloud-based data and applications. FWaaS capabilities (as part of a SSE solution) enable the aggregation of traffic from multiple sources \u2013 whether from on-site data centres, branch offices, mobile users or cloud infrastructure. It also provides consistent application and security enforcement of policies across all locations and users while giving complete network visibility and control without deploying physical appliances.<\/p>\n


    \nSummarising Secure Service Edge<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

    In summary, by deploying a comprehensive SSE solution, businesses can allow their employees secure, remote access to applications, data, tools and other corporate resources whilst monitoring and tracking behaviour once users access the network. As the hybrid workforce expands, securing those remote and mobile users, and the data and apps they access remain protected.<\/p>\n

    It allows companies to automatically manage dispersed remote and hybrid users\u00a0by connecting them to nearby cloud gateways instead of backhauling traffic to corporate data centres.<\/p>\n

    It also provides consistent secure access to all applications while maintaining full visibility and inspection of traffic across all ports and protocols.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

    SD-WAN<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

    SD-WAN as part of a SASE solution delivers networking functionality, directing and optimising traffic across a businesses\u2019 network.<\/p>\n

    SD-WAN (compared to traditional MPLS type networks) allows companies to centrally manage their WAN infrastructure, typically from a central application hosted in the cloud.\u00a0It also allows businesses to dynamically route network traffic based on the requirements of their applications.<\/p>\n

    Unlike traditional WANs that depend on manual rule creation for routers, SD-WAN is application-centric and virtualised, swiftly adapting to changes and offering better security. It\u2019s crucial to accessing cloud applications securely. Typically it can be managed from a centralised control plane and minimises individual device management. Furthermore, SD-WAN supports diverse connection types, like MPLS and broadband, bolstering bandwidth and performance while simplifying administration.<\/p>\n

    By not backhauling traffic to a central data centre, latency is reduced, and performance improves, leading to better user satisfaction, all while maintaining strong security.<\/p>\n

    When coupled with SSE technology the complete SASE solution delivers networking and security as a service in a single cloud-delivered service at the network edge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    \n

    The Key to Deploying SASE is Treating it as a Journey.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

    In our experience very few businesses will wake up one day and say \u2018today I\u2019m going to look at how I can implement a SASE solution into our organisation.\u2019 It is more likely that businesses will take small steps and go along a journey to achieving a full SASE architecture.<\/p>\n

    For most businesses, the journey can start with a unique use case. The need to replace legacy systems or networks, a branch transformation project to improve user experience, meet industry compliance requirements for protecting data or securing mission critical web of SaaS based applications.<\/p>\n

    It is likely that businesses are already using a number of different Cyber Security products, and the challenge is whether to continue using disparate Cyber Security products and have a multi-vendor SASE solution or whether to opt for a platform approach using a single vendor.<\/p>\n

    To consolidate and simplify are the guiding principles of SASE so the natural answer would be to go for a single vendor SASE solution which converges network and security capabilities into a single cloud-delivered service. By consolidating different point products, appliances can be eliminated, and consistent policy enforcement can be easily achieved. This will also allow one data source and a single management console.<\/p>\n

    That is not to say of course a multi-vendor SASE solution won\u2019t deliver similar functionality to a single vendor SASE, but the set up will require greater integration to ensure solutions work together, to enable log collection and correlation for management. Effectively it will increase complexity and limit the agility and flexibility achieved if opting for a single vendor.<\/p>\n
