TEC37 Networking Series E01: SASE - Where the Network and Security Worlds Collide

Event Overview

Since Gartner introduced the term Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) in 2019, technology leaders have been trying to figure out what this merging of network and security architectures means for their organizations. In this episode of TEC37, we dig into the evolution of SASE, how it works and some considerations when evaluating SASE solutions. Join host Robb Boyd as he speaks with WWT’s Mike Schmidt, Security Architect; Michael Pfeiffer, Cloud Networking Architect; and Jordan Martin, Networking Architect. They’ll discuss how the worlds of networking and security have collided to meet the technology needs of today’s large organizations.

What to expect

In this episode, you’ll hear how the SASE model puts an end to the longstanding tradeoff between performance and security. You’ll also hear how SASE can help your organization scale as network traffic moves to the cloud.
  • How SASE solutions can apply security services that often aren’t performed on-premises because of performance hits and cost constraints
  • The importance of cloud adjacency when moving to a SASE model
  • How SASE reduces the engineering complexities of Layer 1-3 networking
  • The importance of vendors’ core capabilities when assessing SASE solutions

Goals and Objectives

After attending, you’ll have better insight into how SASE works and the technical and business gains from moving to a SASE model. You’ll come away knowing how SASE can benefit your IT organization, possess the knowledge to communicate the value of SASE to C-level leaders, and understand how to navigate the SASE market.

Who should attend?

This episode is targeted toward networking and security directors, managers, architect, and lead engineers.
