Study Notes
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)
- SASE is a cloud-native networking architecture that combines multiple security and networking services into a single platform.
- It leverages cloud-based resources and APIs for centralized management.
- Key components of SASE include SD-WAN, secure web gateway (SWG), and various security services.
- SASE aims to improve the security posture of an organization by consolidating security functions in a single provider or platform.
- Facilitates secure access to cloud applications and data for users from any location.
- Reduces the complexity and cost of managing separate networking and security infrastructure.
Network Security
- Network security encompasses the protection of an organization's network infrastructure from threats.
- It involves a range of technologies and strategies aimed at mitigating risks such as malware, denial-of-service attacks, and unauthorized access.
- Includes firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and intrusion prevention systems (IPS).
- Focuses on securing data and resources transmitted across the network.
- Essential for protecting sensitive data and maintaining business continuity.
Cloud Security
- Cloud security encompasses the protection of data, applications, and infrastructure hosted in cloud environments.
- Key concerns include data breaches, unauthorized access, and compliance violations.
- Cloud security often involves implementing multi-factor authentication, access controls, and encryption to secure sensitive data.
- Encompasses security throughout cloud deployments, including storage, networking, and computing resources.
- Organizations must consider cloud-specific security threats and implement appropriate countermeasures.
Zero Trust Architecture
- Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) is a security model that assumes no implicit trust between network users and resources.
- Verification of all users and devices is mandatory, regardless of their location within the network perimeters.
- Every access attempt to resources is vetted before authorization.
- Based on the principle of "never trust, always verify."
- Enhances security by limiting access privileges and improving threat detection and response.
- Promotes a granular approach to access control, making security posture more resilient to breaches.
Secure Web Gateway (SWG)
- SWG is a security solution that controls and monitors web traffic passing through a network.
- Protects end users from malicious websites and content and from phishing attacks.
- Often integrated with other security solutions.
- Prevents users from accessing inappropriate websites or downloading malicious software.
- Part of the SASE framework.
SD-WAN
- SD-WAN (Software-Defined WAN) is a network architecture that virtualizes network functions and enables dynamic configuration across various network connections.
- Enables optimized routing and traffic prioritization based on application requirements and network conditions.
- Reduces reliance on expensive, dedicated physical links and promotes dynamic path selection for traffic.
- Facilitates seamless connectivity across different network locations.
- Simplifies network management and improves application performance.
- Often integrated into SASE offerings as a key component.
