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.

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 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 sites.
SASE Architecture: Cisco Viptela SD-WAN With Netskope (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.

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.
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.
Versa SD-WAN Foundations
Versa SD-WAN offers advanced networking solutions tailored for technology professionals. It specializes in complex traffic shaping, policy management, and provides real-time analytics for bandwidth optimization. Its agile system supports intricate routing and Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization, ensuring consistent network performance. Versa SD-WAN integrates seamlessly with existing networks and cloud services, featuring WAN optimization, zero-touch provisioning, and secure, encrypted traffic management. Its capabilities in failover mechanisms and network resilience make it an essential tool for modern enterprise wide-area networking.
