The Cisco SD-WAN Foundations Lab is a capability of the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the fundamental features of Cisco's SD-WAN solution. The environment that supports the lab is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.

Prisma Access comes in two flavors: the cloud-managed version and one that can be managed by Panorama, which is what is covered in this lab. The lab shows some of the main features of the Panorama-managed version of Prisma Access. You will also be able to login to two different devices, one of which is a remote user with a corporate-owned asset and a second device that simulates a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) instance.

First coined in 2019, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is the convergence of network and security frameworks. SASE aims to reduce the operational complexity that comes with a cloud-first delivery model. Application assurance and service optimization are achieved via global Point-of-Presence (POPs) and peering with carriers providing high-performance backbones. The combination of all these factors gives the user a consistent and secure experience no matter where they are located.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), coined by Gartner in 2019, is a solution that blends networking and security into cloud scale architecture that optimizes end user performance and improves security for an organization. Cisco Umbrella is a SASE solution that combines edge networking, domain name system (DNS) enforcement, cloud-delivered firewall (CDFW), and secure web gateway (SWG) capabilities to connect, protect, and secure remote offices and users. The SASE Lab Series will look to explore the capabilities of the solution to provide you with a "rubber meets road" understanding of these technologies and how SASE can be applied in your company.

Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) is a secure Internet and web gateway cloud-delivered SASE service that sits between the users and the internet. ZIA will inspect every byte of traffic inline across multiple security techniques providing full protection from web and internet threats. The SASE Lab Series will look to explore the capabilities of the solution to provide you with a "rubber meets road" understanding of these technologies and how SASE can be applied in your company.

Zscaler is responsible for securing more than 400 of the Forbes Global 2000 companies. They provide security as a service delivered through a purpose-built, globally distributed platform. The focus of this lab is zero trust access utilizing a solution known as Zscaler Private Access (ZPA). ZPA is a cloud service that provides seamless, zero trust access to private applications running on public cloud or within the data center. With ZPA, applications don't need to be exposed to the internet, making them completely invisible to unauthorized users. This service enables the applications to connect to users via inside-out connectivity versus extending the network to them. It disrupts legacy approaches to remote access such as traditional VPN, establishing per-service dynamic encryption and trust evaluation.
