| Titre | SASE as a Service: The role of managed services in the world of network security convergence |
| Texte | The next iteration in the history of technology convergence emerged with Gartner’s Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). Networking and security vendors have been integrating capabilities for decades, and market adoption of these integrations has only accelerated due to innovations such as virtualization and cloud computing. From a networking perspective, routing of traffic extends far beyond IP and MAC addresses to now include application steering and transport-agnostic overlay networks. From a security perspective, the next-generation firewall brought together a full stack solution capable of inspecting packets, URLs, and macro address information with unified threat management (UTM). SASE brings together these two areas in a manner which revolutionizes the way IT, network, and security organizations will manage their respective domains as well as interoperate cross-functionally. With revolution comes disruption to standard operating procedures; and, that disruption can bring confusion, complexity, and cost in the near term to achieve long-term savings and scalability. That said, transformation does not have to occur in a vacuum. Bringing in an expert, such as a managed services provider (MSP) to assist with the adoption and transition to SASE, can help achieve organizational success throughout the convergence of networking and security solutions. Historical precedent This makes sense when you think about the role MSPs have played throughout the internet era. Early networks were a foreign concept that some even considered a fad, and those disruptive enough to embrace them at the time were faced with complex management of costly systems. Dedicated teams were stood up to manage mainframes that became the first IT organizations. Eventually as these teams became more skilled, businesses emerged loaded with these experts with the acumen to help other organizations build out their own networks. By doing this, these early MSPs sped up the adoption of networking technologies by flattening the learning curve required to turn up a solution and scale their acumen to others as they completed builds for new companies. Noticeably absent (in hindsight) from these early networks was security, which was not even a consideration based on the initial framework of the ARPANET. Network security first started to take shape in 1988 after a student at Cornell University launched the first computer worm to access other connected devices. This resulted in the establishment of the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) at Carnegie Mellon University, the world’s first security operation center (SOC), to prevent these sorts of attacks from occurring in the future. As networking technologies evolved over time—along with the need to secure them—the MSPs managing legacy equipment adapted to these evolutions quickly, and helped organizations transform their infrastructures as well. In parallel, the role of the SOC expanded and network security technologies such as the firewall, intrusion detection system, and web application firewall emerged to help combat these threats. Managed security services providers (MSSPs) were spun up to manage these technologies as well as enable them to help protect other businesses. By taking on these evolving technologies, the onus for quickly understanding the evolution fell to network and security MSPs rather than on the organizations they served. The migration to SASE follows this precedent. Managed network and security providers have adept background in their respective domains and the ability to rapidly understand how technologies and architecture must evolve as the areas converge |
