SD-WAN
SD-WAN is a game-changing, software-based routing solution that streamlines network management and optimizes performance. It automatically distributes network traffic across multiple WAN connections based on policies you define. Leverage SD-WAN to improve network reliability, scalability, agility, cost efficiency, and even your security posture.
Prioritizing Secure SD-WAN
Security is a critical factor in SD-WAN deployments, yet many products don’t specifically require advanced security integration. Some network security providers that offer SD-WAN solutions deliver essentially the same functionality as dedicated SD-WAN providers but with crucial security capabilities built in.
