Optimizing SD-WAN Security for Cloud first-Enterprise

As enterprise branch offices expand their use of cloud applications, they are adopting Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) to improve productivity and performance. SD-WAN is transformational technology to optimise network bandwidth utilisation. In addition, the use of this leading network solution can also improve application performance and increase network visibility in a widespread number of branches.

However, connecting branch offices directly to the Internet increases the new risk of cyber-attack and the high cost for security management.  Securing SD-WAN connections to the cloud is essential to ensure that enterprises have the ability in managing today’s increased cyber threats.

Powered by leading global technologies, Telkomtelstra Managed SD-WAN solution assure the performance and security of enterprise and cloud applications over the Internet and hybrid-WAN, while significantly simplifying deployments and reducing costs.

Last September at Webinar ‘Optimizing SD-WAN Security for Cloud first-Enterprise’ collaborated with VMware and Check Point, we showed how to secure branch office SD-WAN connections to the cloud. [To see to the webinar session, click here.]
