As more businesses embrace digital transformation initiatives, the demand for secure, reliable networking solutions has never been higher. However, increased dependence on the cloud and a rise in remote working models have left many struggling with connectivity issues. While traditional wide area networks (WANs) often can’t keep up with the […]
Network Automation and Other Developments Addressing the Dispersed Workforce
Supporting an ongoing hybrid work environment and its resulting distributed workforce is one of the biggest challenges for network teams. While virtual private networks (VPNs) offered a temporary solution following the shift to remote work, the network must adapt to provide the level of performance and security needed. One of […]
Preparing for SD-WAN Obstacles
Companies implement software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) as a way to address bandwidth demands from cloud applications and centralize management of the network. SD-WAN also allows for traffic prioritization and zero- or low-touch provisioning. Networking teams appreciate the ability to eliminate manual configuration in geographically dispersed branch locations. SD-WAN offers […]
Why Your SASE Deployment Needs the Support of a Managed Services Provider
Secure access service edge (SASE) delivers converged networking and security solutions to lower risk without compromising performance. It utilizes tools such as zero trust network access (ZTNA), firewall as a service (FWaaS), software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN), and secure web gateway (SWG) to achieve a host of benefits. Many managed […]
4 SD-WAN Trends to Follow
Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) was significantly impacted by the events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. In early 2020, over 60% of companies said that they were initiating a roll-out of SD-WAN; but by late 2021, only 36% had deployed the network approach. This is according to new findings by Nemertes […]
Why SASE Might Be Best Accessed Through an MSP
The traditional network perimeter has long vanished, making way for an expanded network that includes mobile, remote, and cloud solutions and users, as well as internet of things (IoT) devices and an array of digital resources. In order to address the unique security challenges of this expanding network perimeter, companies […]
Combining Zero Trust Network Access and SD-WAN for Optimized Security and Performance
As pandemic-weary workers start to filter back into the office, few of them are making the trip on a daily basis. Instead, companies are embracing hybrid and work-from-anywhere models with employees working at home, at a branch location, or anywhere they can find a reliable internet connection. Zero trust network […]
3 Ways SD-WAN and ZTNA Can Support the Remote Workforce
In March 2020, the sudden shift to a remote workforce had IT teams scrambling to be sure their company’s employees had access to the resources they needed to do their jobs. Now, as businesses increasingly choose some type of hybrid work environment or allow remote options as a permanent solution, […]
Making a Case for Zero Trust SD-WAN Security
Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) has emerged over the last decade to allow better distribution of network resources across geographically dispersed companies and their brand locations. While this approach has delivered a solution to the complexity and costliness of supporting cloud solutions, SD-WAN security remains a challenge. Securing SD-WAN faces […]
Security for the Cloud: Why Unified Security Is Best
Cloud environments are becoming more common across organizations, with IT teams implementing more advanced cloud solutions like software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) and shifting major business processes such as communications to the cloud. This also means more complexity when it comes to protecting data and systems, causing IT to more […]
