Traditionally, Wide Area Networks (WANs) and network security were loosely coupled entities. Any SD-WAN should build a virtual overlay of encrypted tunnels between locations.

While SD-WANs are a valuable first step towards evolving the wide area network , they only address a small part of the dissolved enterprise perimeter challenge. Security SD-WANs achieve significant gains in agility and cost reduction in large part due to their ability to leverage direct Internet access (DIA) at branch offices.
