SD-WAN Foundations to a Successful SASE Implementation

On-Demand Webinar (47 min)
With R. Scott Raynovich, Principal Analyst, Futuriom

As enterprises and service providers review the latest security strategies, such as Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), they need to rise above the industry noise. To deliver superior performance for SASE, customers need a tightly integrated SD-WAN to ensure that SASE services run better, faster, and more securely. An assured experience is also a secure experience.

Key to delivering on this promise is understanding the networking and security needs of many applications – ranging from video, unified communications, real-time IoT, software as a service (SaaS), and many others. To deliver the best secure network experience, an SD-WAN platform must be able to optimize SASE services anywhere: whether in the cloud, at the edge, or on-premises. Another consideration is cost and efficiency: emerging security services such as Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and Cloud Access Service Broker (CASB) technology need a sophisticated a SD-WAN platform to understand how and where to direct traffic, to avoid costly hairpins.

This webinar, presented by Futuriom Principal Analyst R. Scott Raynovich, is based on real-word research with enterprise technology users, including surveys and interviews. Scott will explain why end users should always deploy SASE with a SD-WAN foundation.

Here are some of the key items that will be covered in this webinar:

• Key components of both SD-WAN and SASE
• Reasons for growing demand for integrated SASE and SD-WAN services
• Supporting advanced cloud architectures such as hybrid cloud
• The value of an integrated SD-WAN and SASE platform
