Technology Planning: SASE
The process of implementing a SASE model.
Scaling to support remote users requires a modern, practical approach like SASE (Secure Access Service Edge). It also requires a comprehensive, integrated plan to implement an effective SASE model.
A Guide to Mapping Your SASE Journey
PHASE 1
Discovery
Start with the basics – get a clear picture of who and what is involved.
- Secure executive and stakeholder buy-in
- Conduct a thorough inventory of where your users, assets, applications and services are located
- Determine from where you access your data (data center, cloud, etc.)
- Conduct a gap analysis
- Determine what policy sets you want to enforce
PHASE 2
Pre- and During Implementation
Put your plan in motion with all involved.
- Develop an enterprise strategy and timeline that involved cross-practice coordination
- Ensure security architecture and integration plan is followed
- Create a plan to roll out each specific tool and technology
- Participate in an advisory workshop
- Make sure to account for remote workers and branch locations
- Identify requirements for local POPs (point of presence)
- Enforce service-level agreements
PHASE 3
Ongoing Maintenance
No solution is static. Be sure your organization constantly reevaluates your SASE platform.
- As you implement new security technologies, establish an integration plan
- Ensure new IT solutions in other areas will support your platform
- Leverage analytics to identify gaps or red flags
- Ensure ongoing consistent policy enforcement
