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 from a single portal 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 include security technologies which protect data transmissions from office locations to remote users. This includes dynamic encrypted channels, network intrusion/prevention systems, and traffic visibility/reporting. 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 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.
