The proliferation of the cloud has allowed users to connect to applications and data from anywhere and from any device, which has been a net gain for businesses that have reaped the rewards of greater output and employee productivity. But many enterprises have seen their digital transformation hindered by their legacy network architectures. With software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) enterprises can accelerate their transformation with faster access to cloud applications and workloads through direct internet access that is easy to deploy at scale and simpler to manage.
With SD-WAN enabling direct internet access, and thus the ability to circumvent data center security, enterprises open themselves up to new security risks, like:
Businesses want to be secure, but today if you want SD-WAN security it comes as something separate that has to be bolted on. Not only is this complex, but it creates vulnerabilities in itself. Only Cisco is building security into SD-WAN to eliminate complexity and gaps in security.
As a leader in both SD-WAN and network security, Cisco is proud to announce its end-to-end secure SD-WAN platform, which simplifies the deployment, operation and management of the entire enterprise WAN from one single console.
Cisco recently announced built-in security directly into its Viptela SD-WAN fabric, which provides these unique capabilities:
Cisco was recently announced as a "leader" by Gartner in WAN Edge Infrastructure. We're also a "leader" in enterprise firewall and IPS. That's why Cisco is uniquely positioned to re-invent the WAN and offer truly best-in-class SD-WAN security.
