SD-WAN enhances network security by prioritising and optimising connectivity. The flexibility of SD-WAN means it can integrate with additional security tools to suit expanding networks—particularly important as IoT devices increase.
For many businesses, the growth in connected devices makes security critical. This is where SD-WAN’s centralised management becomes vital, allowing for highly specific security policies and controlled access across all devices and locations. In addition, SD-WAN uses encryption for site-to-site traffic, protecting data from interception and ensuring secure data transfer.
A growing trend involves integrating SD-WAN with a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) framework. By merging network and security services into a single cloud-native solution, SASE provides enhanced security. This combined approach addresses more thorough security needs, covering web access and cloud protection.
For businesses handling sensitive data across potentially vulnerable networks, integrating SD-WAN with SASE strengthens connectivity and security in one unified framework. This alignment offers a powerful, resilient network environment that is both performance-optimised and robustly secure.
