No need for expensive MPLS or public internet connection fees to transmit data securely between cloud applications, sites and devices. Use a user-friendly graphic user interface (UI) to streamline network management and save IT time. From a central portal, you can quickly create custom policies for multiple branches. Cloud computing fundamentally alters traffic flows, creating performance and security challenges for networks. Discover how SD-WAN helps address them. Security SD WAN solutions incorporate security technologies that protect data transmissions across office locations and between remote users, including dynamic encrypted tunnels, network intrusion detection/prevention systems and traffic visibility/reporting solutions. It is important that companies don't choose between performance and security in selecting the optimal solution. Therefore, a top SD-WAN provider will combine with leading cybersecurity vendors to ensure the maximum performance and protection of networks. Managed SD-WANs support cloud-first strategies by routing application traffic directly to the nearest cloud gateway or data center using the most optimal path based on network performance and security 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.
