Whatever you choose, it’s imperative that you select a SASE approach that allows you to scale seamlessly (as flexibility and speed are one of the key hallmarks of this architecture)

You may only be worried about ZTNA/SSE today, but you have to think about the future. If you want to migrate your branches to an SD-WAN provider, does it make sense to onboard a second vendor - or should you just expand your SSE solution to include sites?

To me the choice is obvious

 As with many things in security, it depends. SASE, for example, includes SD-WAN, while SSE doesn't have SD-WAN. There are so many things to learn here. I've been spending a lot of time with SASE and SSE and would be happy to discuss the topic if anyone is interested

Has anyone drafted an SOW for a cloud-based SIEM with setup, migration, and maintenance? I’m working on a FedRAMP-authorized SIEM SOW, migrating from on-prem Splunk, covering data, searches, alerts, dashboards, and models.  Scope includes Environment Setup:  Cloud provisioning, configuration, testing. Connectors/Parsers: Custom data source integration. Content Development: Rules, use cases, threat feeds. Performance Tuning: Query/index optimization. Runbooks: Operational procedures. Also required: 24x7 support, maintenance, lifecycle and application management, role-based training, and documentation.  Must comply with NIST SP 800-53, CJIS, and FedRAMP Moderate+. Goal: Secure, scalable SIEM for rapid deployment. I may be missing elements, so suggestions are welcome. Please share redacted SOWs or tips if possible.

What is your confidence level of your organization's ability to architect and deploy a virtual network? E.g. SD-WAN (choose one)

I am very confident my organization would be able to both architect and deploy a virtual network using self-service tools/portals15%

I am confident my organization would be able to deploy a virtual network, but less confident we would be able to architect it ourselves63%

I am confident my organization would be able to architect a virtual network, but less confident on the ability to deploy it ourselves11%

I am somewhat confident, but may require some guidance from a consultant or our service provider4%

I am not confident and would expect to engage with a partner or service provider5%
