The Fortinet Secure SD-WAN Foundations Lab is a capability of the ATC designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the Fortinet Secure SD-WAN solution. The environment that supports this lab is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.

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.

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.

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.
