It’s a new decade, and the internet is not what it was 10 years ago. Not only is there more information passing through networks, but it’s more diverse and complex. More devices are accessing it. Most software integrates with it, if not depends on it entirely. Meanwhile, the threats against security are more complex and powerful than ever.
To manage, optimize, and protect your network, you need to utilize advanced tools. One that’s becoming increasingly popular is SD-WAN.
SD–WAN stands for “software-defined wide area network”. Whereas a traditional WAN typically operates at the point of contact, an SD-Wan is able to create a virtual architecture within the network, proving intelligent control.
SD-WAN is designed for today’s network activity, bringing more customization, faster speeds, tighter security/privacy, and more.
How this is done depends on your preferences and settings. SD-WAN operates based on priority settings, security requirements, etc. Despite its deep feature set and enhanced control, like most-cloud-based systems, it’s easily managed from a centralized dashboard.
