SASE is a major architectural shift with many components -- zero trust network architecture (ZTNA), cloud access security broker (CASB) and SD-WAN, just to name a few. We believe that for SASE adoption to be truly successful, engineering teams must explore hands on how different solutions approach SASE's many components. Use our Advanced Technology Center (ATC) to launch our SASE labs on demand. You can also follow this topic to receive alerts when new labs are added.

Cisco Umbrella: Secure Branch (SASE Lab Series)
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.
Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access: Secure Branch (SASE Lab Series)
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. Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access is a SASE solution that combines edge networking, domain name system (DNS) enforcement, firewall as a service (FWaaS), 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: Secure Branch SSE (SASE Lab Series)
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. 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.
Integration
SASE Architecture: Cisco Viptela SD-WAN With Palo Alto Prisma (SSE) Lab
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.
SASE Architecture: Cisco Viptela SD-WAN With Zscaler (SSE) Lab
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. With the Zscaler and SD-WAN integration, you can rapidly gain access to cloud-delivered security in minutes. This market leading API automation makes it very fast and agile to deploy and manage the network and security environment of hundreds or even thousands of remote sides.
SASE Architecture: Cisco Viptela SD-WAN With Netskope (SSE) Lab

TIC 3.0 Architecture Lab
Established in 2007, Trusted Internet Connections (TIC) was developed to secure the Federal Government's connections to the Internet. The first iteration of TIC, coined 1.0, focused on reducing external network connections to improve security posture. TIC 2.0 refined the original design by pushing for standardization across federal agencies. In its 3rd revision, TIC 3.0 introduces flexibility, security and visibility to accommodate cloud, mobile and encrypted applications, services and environments.
All SASE Labs
Zscaler Zero Trust Lab
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.
Fortinet SD-WAN Foundations Lab
The Fortinet SD-WAN Foundations Lab is a capability of the ATC designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the Fortinet SD-WAN solution. The environment that supports the Fortinet SD-WAN Foundations Lab is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.
