As digital innovations such as the widespread adoption of public cloud architectures change the way business is conducted, the impact of these changes on the enterprise network is rapidly increasing. To adapt to these changes, many enterprises are using SD-WAN with the promise that the technology will deliver direct cloud access, better application performance, greater flexibility and lower costs. But while these benefits are within the realm of possibility, they are all too easy to undo if one ignores the inherent security implications of an expanded attack surface and increased vulnerability to sophisticated, targeted attacks.
This white paper takes a closer look at the various benefits and challenges, and shows how a path to successful implementation can be followed.
