5G as Primary WAN: Making 5G Enterprise-Ready with Versa Secure SD-WAN
5G as Primary WAN: Making 5G Enterprise-Ready with Versa Secure SD-WAN For years, 5G was treated as a backup connection, the link you activated when the main circuit went down, then ignored until the next outage. That made sense when cellular networks were inconsistent and performance was unpredictable. But that’s no longer today’s reality. 5G has matured into a viable primary WAN technology. The speeds are there. The coverage is there. What’s been missing is the management foundation to run 5G like a primary enterprise WAN connection: unified policy enforcement, multi-carrier flexibility, intelligent traffic steering, and end-to-end visibility. That changes…
The WAN for AI-era applications is becoming a single system
Dell’Oro Group is putting a sharper name on something enterprise teams have been feeling for a while: in the AI era, the “WAN” cannot be a collection of loosely coupled products anymore. It has to operate like one end-to-end system with one policy model, one telemetry story, and one operational workflow.
Securing the Modern Manufacturing Network: From Basic LAN to Zero Trust SD-LAN
From ransomware disruption to resilient operations, this blog shows how a global manufacturer transformed a flat, vulnerable network into a secure, segmented, and highly visible environment using Zero Trust SD-LAN, eliminating lateral threats and improving control across IT and OT.
Versa Zero Trust: From Network Trust to Application Trust
Zero Trust has become a foundational concept in enterprise security, but many implementations focus on only one part of the problem: application access. Zero Trust must be enforced at multiple layers of the network.
Delivering Uninterrupted Enterprise 5G Connectivity with Versa and 10T Solutions
We are excited to announce a powerful integration between Versa Networks and 10T Solutions. This industry-leading innovation brings native multi-carrier 10T eSIM connectivity directly to Versa Secure SD-WAN appliances. Enterprises are rapidly adopting cellular connectivity to accelerate branch deployments, support mobile operations, and ensure business continuity.
Reimagining NetOps: Operational Intelligence Powered by Versa NLP based Co-Pilot
Natural Language Processing (NLP) has evolved significantly over the past decade. From the humble beginnings of a simple rule-based lookup, it has now transformed into AI-driven systems capable of context-based responses for operational intelligence. In enterprise networks that are distributed, the need for simplified operations has never been greater. Network Operations (NetOps) teams are under increased pressure to troubleshoot faster, identify root causes accurately, and reduce resolution cycles while maintaining uptime and business agility.
Rethinking 5G for the Enterprise WAN: From Basic Modems to Intelligent Extenders
The promise of 5G for enterprise WAN is clear. It’s a required connectivity for IT leaders to gain better bandwidth, lower latency and faster branch deployments. It is an important tool for business continuity in the event of unforeseen network failures. As nns accelerate branch expansion, adopt cloud and SaaS applications, and prepare for connectivity to AI workloads, 5G is no longer an option, it is foundational.
Achieve Zero Blind Spots with Versa’s Complete Branch Security that Protects Guest Wi-Fi and Beyond
Branches are surging back in prominence as hubs for users, applications, and a rapidly expanding IoT ecosystem. In this new branch paradigm, Guest Wi-Fi is no longer a convenience. It’s a non-negotiable requirement across retail, healthcare, hospitality, financial services, and much more. Unfortunately, this shift introduces a new mix of unpredictable user behavior, diverse applications, and thousands of devices to the branch infrastructure. This dramatically increases bandwidth demands and expands the attack surface where guest devices can bring malicious files, launch DNS-based threats, enable data exfiltration, or open compliance and privacy gaps. Industry research shows 70% of performance degradation and…
Not every branch is a “Coffee Shop Network”
Coffee shop networking intends to simplify connectivity, but most organizations need more. Learn five reasons organizations may need to consider other models and how Versa supports flexible branch modernization.
Is Your Enterprise Ready for Unknown Attacks Originating from your IoT networks
Norway reported a cyber intrusion at a dam in Bremanger that remotely opened a valve and released water at approximately 132 gallons per second for about four hours—roughly two million gallons in total—before operators intervened. No injuries or material damage were reported, but the incident highlighted how digital control systems in critical infrastructure can be manipulated and was noted as the first confirmed breach of Norway’s water infrastructure since 2022.

Why Enterprises Are Finally Ripping and Replacing Their Legacy SD-WAN—and Embracing Versa
By Rajesh Kari
Director, Product Marketing
September 10, 2025
For a long time, most enterprises treated deployment of SD-WAN as a replacement to their legacy routers in order to enable traffic engineering on multiple WAN links. They were still forced to manage point products like WAN optimizers, firewalls and legacy switches in addition to SD-WAN, hoping to deliver better connectivity and performance, without the pain of replacing them with a unified solution. Industry reports show that this was the norm across organizations – a phased transition instead of bold replacement.

Redefining LAN: Powering Secure Connectivity for Everything from People to Things
By Dogu Narin
VP of Product Management, Versa Networks
July 15, 2025
Versa Secure SD-LAN is a LAN connectivity solution designed for a world of rapidly growing Enterprise, personal and IoT devices – and evolving security threats. Legacy LANs struggle to identify users or devices, segment traffic precisely, or track device movement. Versa’s approach solves this with built-in micro-segmentation, device-level visibility, and Zero Trust enforcement at every port. It unifies switching, routing, and security policy control into a centrally managed, software-defined platform—eliminating hardware lock-in and reducing operational overhead.

Digital Transformation with Versa’s SD-Branch
By Kelly Ahuja
CEO, Versa Networks
May 10, 2017
Enterprise CIOs are preparing for a digital transformation by developing strategies that “software define” different aspects of their architecture, processes and organization. In general, this strategy includes creating and adopting new, nimbler operational processes that are automated and provide better total cost of ownership in all aspects of the business. This transformation began in enterprise application and data center domains a couple of years back. Many enterprises adopted new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) models and began moving business-critical applications to public cloud infrastructures. Consequently, today’s enterprise data center and IT application environments are simpler. The popularity of Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure…
