Why it matters

The rise of the hybrid workforce has introduced significant challenges for traditional LANs, which struggle to provide secure, reliable, and manageable connectivity and a consistent experience for both remote and on-site employees. As businesses increasingly adopt hybrid work models and deploy a pervasive footprint of IoT devices, the need for a unified LAN platform that enforces zero trust becomes critical.


UseCases

Enable hybrid work

Secure and seamless connectivity for employees when remote or on-premises by implementing Zero Trust access policies and maintaining productivity regardless of location.

Unified network platform

Manage your enterprise network as a centrally managed platform with zero touch provisioning, automation, API programmability, and built-in dashboards for monitoring and analytics.

IoT security

Integrate IoT security into the LAN, providing visibility and granular control of IoT/OT devices and ensuring they are securely connected and managed.

Bring Zero Trust on-premises

Replace your legacy NAC with Zero Trust access for all of your users on the LAN to improve your security posture and stop lateral movement.


How we do it

Versa Secure SD-LAN integrates advanced security features and Zero Trust with software-defined networking to provide a centrally managed platform for your LAN. It combines switching, routing, security, and network services into a single, hardware-agnostic platform. This approach provides greater reliability, control, and flexibility; reduces costs and complexity; and improves deployment agility through zero-touch provisioning and centralized management.

Every switch and access point in the LAN becomes a Zero Trust enforcement point to stop lateral movement, and automated configuration and policy enforcement ensure consistent security across the network, making it easier to protect against threats and maintain compliance.


What you get

Software-defined agility

Deployment agility is radically improved through zero-touch provisioning, while automated configuration and change management using templates and profiles through a centralized console eliminate inconsistencies and manual errors.

Certified appliances

Versa Secure SD-LAN runs directly on a range of certified, bare-metal appliances to provide the scale and capacity needed for today’s branch and campus, converging routing, SD-WAN, and security into a single branch appliance.

Zero Trust on-premises

A secure access solution extends the same ZTNA principles used for remote workers to those that are on-premises. Granular policies are enforced based on identity and a continuous assessment of the user, device, and network posture.

Adaptive segmentation

Software-defined micro-segmentation divides your network and enforces security policies per segment, limiting any potential lateral movement of threats, enhancing network visibility, and enabling granular access control.

VersaAI™

A shared set of AI/ML engines are natively integrated into the platform and embedded into the LAN to identify malicious behaviors in real time and enhance network and security operational excellence.

Unified policy repository

Consistent policy application across your LAN, WAN, cloud, and data center driven by Versa’s unified policy language and single policy engine. Define once and apply across your infrastructure.

Benefits

Eliminate the struggles of constant reconfigurations and time-consuming management with an automated, software-defined LAN that with zero-touch provisioning and centralized monitoring.

Integrate switching, routing, security, and network services into a single, hardware-agnostic software platform with centralized management, and automated configurations.

Embed Zero Trust and IoT security directly withinto the network architecture.
