SASE named. $ZT_LAB. Original Cyberlium.

Opening

SASE bundles ZTNA, SWG, CASB, FWaaS, SD-WAN literacy — map capabilities to LAB-ZT-001 hybrid workforce without acronym soup slides only.

Gartner SASE: cloud-delivered secure access combining ZTNA, Secure Web Gateway, Cloud Access Security Broker, firewall-as-a-service, SD-WAN. Single vendor vs best-of-breed literacy tradeoff on checklist row. Write SASE capability map: which functions LAB-ZT-001 needs now vs later — fictional maturity. Next: VPN vs ZTNA.

1. SASE capabilities (named)

ZTNA: private app access. SWG: web filtering/SSL inspect literacy. CASB: SaaS shadow IT visibility. FWaaS: edge firewall cloud. SD-WAN: branch connectivity.

Identity-centric policy ties functions together — not five siloed purchases.

═══ INSTALL ═══

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):

Command — copy this

sudo apt install python3

macOS:

Command — copy this

brew install python3

Windows: Download https://python.org/downloads/

═══ LINUX / macOS ═══

Command — copy this

export ZT_LAB=${ZT_LAB:-$HOME/cyberlium-lab/t40-zt}

# SASE Capability Map — LAB-ZT-001
| Capability | Need now? | Owner | Notes |
|------------|-----------|-------|-------|
| ZTNA | Yes | NetSec | Remote app access Phase 2 |
| SWG | Yes | NetSec | Web filtering hybrid users |
| CASB | Later | Cloud Sec | SaaS visibility Phase 2 |
| FWaaS | Later | NetSec | Branch edge Phase 3 |
| SD-WAN | Later | NetOps | Branch connectivity Phase 3 |
Identity-centric policy ties functions — avoid siloed purchases
LAB SAMPLE — NOT FOR PRODUCTION ARCHITECTURE CLAIMS
EOF

Command — copy this

grep -E 'ZTNA|CASB|Need now|LAB SAMPLE' "$ZT_NETWORK/sase-capability-map.md"
python3 -c "print('SASE: phased capability map — design literacy only')"

Primary tools to practice this lesson: grep, python3. Reference sites: CISA ZTMM Networks (https://www.cisa.gov/zero-trust-maturity-model); NIST SP 800-207 (https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-207/final). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.

2. Deployment literacy

Branch office: SD-WAN + SWG. Remote user: ZTNA client. SaaS: CASB + IdP SSO. Pick primary pain for LAB-ZT-001 fictional hybrid org.

Document single-vendor vs multi-vendor decision factors — no vendor bash, design tradeoffs.

3. Capability map

Table: Capability | Need now? | Owner | Notes — five SASE rows for lab org.

Ship: SASE capability map. Next: VPN vs ZTNA.

4. What you ship: SASE capability map

Five capability rows with now/later and owner. $ZT_LAB fictional. chmod 600.

5. What you record before the next lesson

Date. SASE map. $ZT_LAB named. File t40-m06-l02-sase-named.txt chmod 600.

6. Wrong vs right: bypass cookbooks vs YOUR ZT design

Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.

  • Wrong

    Label SASE as VPN with marketing rename only. Skip CASB because org is small in lab.

  • Right

    Write SASE capability map with phased now/later rows. Next: VPN vs ZTNA.

Mission: SASE capability map

1) Define five SASE capabilities in your words. 2) Mark now vs later for LAB-ZT-001. 3) Assign fictional owner per row. 4) chmod 600.
