eLearning CASB, SD-WAN and SASE

As more data moves to the cloud, new tools and methods are needed to control your data and comply to security regulations. This CASB, SD-WAN and SASE Training is based on the latest security trends as defined by Gartner, Forrester and the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA).

You can find a detailed agenda at the end of this page.

Are you in control of your business data in the Cloud (think of Dropbox, social media, Gmail or Office365)? Security in the Cloud is a shared responsibility which leads to complexity and confusion.

A CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) is essential to mitigate and control the risks involved in the (unwanted) usage of the Cloud (Shadow IT for example)

“Email is the #1 attack vector. Cloud Account Takeover is the #1 attack target. A CASB is the best way to protect against these threats – Cloud Security Alliance (CSA).

Threats, hacks and zero days are unfortunately the order of the day. Even the most professional IT organizations are hit by malware, think of the recent Solarwinds hack. Are your data and applications safe in the hybrid Cloud?

In this CASB, SD-WAN and SASE Training you get an overview of the latest security and networking technologies and you will learn: What is it? Why do I need it? How can I implement it? What are the major vendors?

Digital business transformation requires anywhere, anytime access to applications and services — many of which are now located in the cloud (Source: Gartner, August 2019, The Future of Network Security Is in the Cloud)

The term SASE (Secure Access Server Edge) was introduced in 2019 by Gartner. SASE is a new category of cloud-native networking and security solutions. The used technologies are not new as such, but the convergence of these solutions in one product offering a single pane of glass and single point of control is.

Because SASE (but also CASB) is a combination of existing security and networking tools, in this training you will gain insight in the latest tools such as:

• Secur Web Gateway (SWG)
• Software defined wide area network (SD-WAN)
• Software-defined perimeter (SDP) or  Zero Trust network access (ZTNA)
• Firewall as a service (FWaaS)
• Next-generation firewall (NGFW)
• Remote Browser Isolation (RBI)
• Next-generation antimalware (NGAM)
• Intrusion prevention system (IPS)
