Encrypt Data, Not Just the Tunnel Most remote access solutions create an encrypted point-to-point tunnel to carry the communications payload. The data payload itself must also be encrypted for strong security. VPNs provide point-to-point connectivity. Security is still a considerable concern when VPNs are used.

SD-WAN also promises to reduce the management complexity of this hybrid WAN, which naturally increases with the need to mix and match connection types, and dynamically allocate application traffic. MPLS isnt encrypted by default: MPLS relies on the carrier private network for security because the data doesnt flow on the public Internet.
