No need for expensive MPLS or public internet connection fees to transmit data securely between cloud applications, sites and devices. Reduce IT staff time by using a graphical interface (UI) that's easy to use. Create custom policies quickly for multiple branches from a central portal. Cloud computing fundamentally alters traffic flows, creating performance and security challenges for networks. SD-WAN offers solutions to address these challenges. Security SD WANs include security technologies such as dynamic encrypted tunnels (which protect data transmissions) and network intrusion prevention/detection systems. They also provide traffic visibility and reporting solutions. When choosing the right solution, companies shouldn't be forced to choose between network security and performance. That is why an ideal SD WAN provider combines their services with leading cybersecurity providers for maximum protection and network performance. Managed SD-WANs can support cloud-first approaches by routing application traffic using the optimal route based upon network performance and safety requirements. This improves UCaaS quality by eliminating backhauling to data centers and reducing latency; further, SD-WANs increase existing security infrastructure's efficiency by permitting traffic to trusted destinations/applications to bypass extensive scanning/analysis equipment thereby freeing up resources for more suspicious traffic, leading to significant cost savings for enterprises.
