Webcast Your organisation is probably deploying apps in the public cloud by now, either because you're following the industry norm of general migration into off-prem environments, or perhaps because you're having to support a dispersed workforce as we enter the "new normal" of a world battling COVID-19.
Whatever the reason, you’ll be thinking more remotely, and will be at least aware of the purported advantages of a cloud deployment – efficiencies, features for collaboration, and so on.
What may be bothering you, however, are the numerous available ways to secure the data in a cloud deployment. While the age-old concepts of identity and access management, encryption, and good end-user security software come to mind, you may not have as readily considered how SD-WAN – software-defined wide-area networking – can contribute to cloud security, all while offering the many other benefits more typically associated with SD-WAN.
Who can resist enhanced network performance, better reliability, improved operating costs, and – on top of it all – buffed security? It’s an attractive package.
But then there’s another issue: research from Vanson Bourne revealed more than half of surveyed organisations would prefer to have their SD-WAN offered by their cloud provider as opposed to a third party. Is this even possible?
Here to the rescue in discussing this thorny issue is Barracuda Networks’ Mike Goldof, who will join The Register ’s Tim Phillips on [1]our virtual sofa to discuss the best options when choosing an SD-WAN, with security a high priority.
On [2]July 30, 2020 , at 4pm BST, Mike and Tim will discuss how – whether you’re just starting your organisation’s journey to cloud, or whether you’re upping your reliance on off-prem platforms to serve new ways of working – right now is the time to start carefully checking that your WAN is up to snuff on a security level.
They’ll be grounding the debate by going through the security and performance benefits of SD-WAN in the first place, and how these manifest in different options and deployments.
Finally, Mike and Tim will cover the best ways to deploy and integrate a security-focused SD-WAN, while keeping in mind your specific security needs.
