Webcast Research from Vanson Bourne found that more than half of surveyed businesses wished their SD-WAN – their software-defined wide area networking – was provided straight from their cloud vendor as opposed to a third party.
While this is a compelling statistic, it raises questions about whether enterprises at large are making the most effective decisions when considering what a well-chosen SD-WAN solution can achieve.
One story often left untold when discussing SD-WAN technology is how well-suited the technology can be for contributing to your security posture. On top of providing the usual essentials in an enterprise cloud network, software-defined tech that also keeps an eye on security can be a powerful and reassuring asset.
When moving into the realms of SaaS applications, such as Office 365, Salesforce, or any number of other business-as-usual solutions, network traffic vastly increases and latency needs to be cut. This requires more direct access, more often, from users and – at the same time – more direct access to the cloud network, creating more risk.
Bundling security operations in with an SD-WAN is, thus, a sensible option, though tiptoeing through the minefield of what solutions to pick, and whether to take the best-of-breed versus easier-to-manage-and-regulate choices becomes a tough conversation in itself.
Here to the rescue in discussing this thorny issue is Barracuda Networks’ Mike Goldof, who will join The Register ’s Tim Phillips on our [1]virtual sofa to discuss the best options when choosing an SD-WAN while making security a high priority.
On [2]July 30, 2020 , at 1600 BST, Mike and Tim will discuss how right now is the time to start carefully checking that your WAN is up to snuff on a security level. They’ll ground 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.
