Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Workshop

Most current enterprises today were designed with the data center as center of gravity for access. Digital transformation has seen a movement of these local workflows to the cloud, and businesses have shifted to a workforce that is much more mobile in nature and need to be able to work anywhere. Network security models that are based on yesterday's architecture are no longer sufficient to provide secure, consistent connectivity for users that can be anywhere accessing workloads living anywhere. This workshop explores how Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) can meet the needs of the modern digital world.

WWT Experts: Brianna Sideris on SSE

Grab a quick dose of deep expertise with the WWT Expert series. In each episode, our host poses topical questions to a WWT Expert. Learn about the business solutions these experts have created, the technologies they've mastered and the trends they're seeing in the marketplace. All in 30 minutes or less. What is Security Service Edge (SSE)? Simply think of it as the unified security services slice of the SASE pizza. Gartner coined the SSE term to develop a path for organizations struggling to bridge the gap between their cloud-security design and WAN Service Edge design. SSE can be your organization's starting point before integrating your network and security into a unified experience with SASE. During this event, Matthew Coble will chat with SSE expert, Brianna Sideris. Brianna is passionate about helping organizations make technology decisions that simply make sense. She is a great resource for any SSE questions you may have!

Decoding SASE for Your Business

Since Gartner introduced the term Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) in 2019, organizations have been trying to figure out what this merging of network and security architectures means for their organizations. The rapid disappearance of the boundary between private networks and public networks has caused organizations to accelerate their SASE Journey. We aim to take you through a journey of how WWT envisions the SASE implementation and what its important pillars are both on the Network and Security front. We are going to showcase Cisco's comprehensive SASE offerings and solutions in action realizing this vision. Attendees will have the chance to win multiple prizes during the presentation!

Inside the ATC Networking: SSE - Security Service Edge

SASE remains a major architectural shift with many components -- zero trust network architecture (ZTNA), cloud access security broker (CASB), SD-WAN, and now a new term: Security Service Edge (SSE). For adoption to be truly successful, engineering teams must explore hands-on how different solutions address SSE and how they integrate into broader SASE architectures.

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.
