SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area
Network) is a technology
that allows organizations to use software to manage and optimize the performance of their wide area
network (WAN) connections.
Improved
Network Performance
By using software to
manage and
optimise
WAN connections, SD-WAN ensures that traffic is being directed to the best
available
path, resulting in faster and more reliable connections.
Increased
Flexibility
SD-WAN allows
organizations to use a
variety
of different types of connections, including broadband, 4G, and MPLS, which can
help to reduce costs and
increase resilience.
Cost
Savings
By implementing SD-WAN,
organizations can
reduce the costs
associated with maintaining and upgrading their WAN, as well as the costs of
MPLS
circuits.
Security
SD-WAN solutions often
include
security
features such as VPN,
firewall and intrusion prevention, which can help to protect against cyber
threats and
breaches.
Simplified
Network Management
SD-WAN solutions can
help to
simplify
network
management by providing a centralised, software-based approach to managing WAN
connections.
SASE solutions provide a secure,
cloud-native platform for
connecting users and devices to enterprise networks and cloud services. It allows for a more
centralized and flexible approach to security, providing security functions such as firewall, VPN,
intrusion prevention and threat intelligence as a service, that can be delivered at the edge of the
network or closer to the user.
Ensures
Consistent
Policy
A SASE solution
provides a secure,
consistent client-to-cloud user experience. The architecture improves security
by applying consistent policy enforcement and delivers a comprehensive range of
UTM services to any network edge.
Enables New
Digital
Business Scenarios
Automated,
cloud-delivered SASE
provides a scalable architecture, leverages the internet, and enables digital
transformation without the costs and rigidity of on-prem architectures. SASE’s
SaaS approach supports rapid growth and low-cost adoption of technology
improvements.
Increases IT
Staff
Effectiveness
Centralised, role-based
management
increases network and security staff effectiveness. Staff gain full visibility
and control over their areas of responsibility by applying policies.
Threat
Prevention
and Reducing Risk
SASE architecture
provides
application and resource cloaking, segmentation and isolation with distributed
control and data planes. Security is built into the SASE fabric, ensuring all
connections are inspected and secured.
Secure
Remote
and Mobile Access
SASE brings security to
the user
instead of backhauling traffic to a policy enforcement point. By anchoring the
client to the best SASE gateway, an optimised user experience is enabled.
