In addition to legacy data centers, enterprises now have extensive assets in the cloud as well as in branch and remote offices and, increasingly, in workers own homes. For most organizations, the cloud is a critical piece of their transformation. The legacy hub-and-spoke architecture is pure kryptonite to cloud application performance.

The market for SD-WAN has been driven in part by its ability to reduce bandwidth costs and improve the performance of cloud access. These drivers, though, also come with baggage: the reassessment of todays corporate security model. Traditionally, Wide Area Networks (WANs) and network security were loosely coupled entities.

Cloud computing has been an integral part of the modern enterprise for some time. No longer an emerging technology, cloud computing is now used in everything from applications, storage, and networking. With vendors like Amazon AWS and applications like Office 365, the cloud computing market is projected to reach $411B by 2020.

Enterprise networking is moving from traditional hub-and-spoke WAN architectures to infrastructure that must support the migration of critical applications to the cloud. And yet, according to Gartner analyst Joe Skorupa , “When businesses decide to move to the cloud, the network tends to be an afterthought.”

Since the beginning of networks, the lynchpin of network security has been the firewall. The first network firewalls appeared in the late 1980s, and gained almost universal acceptance by the early 1990s. FWaaS eliminates those issues by uniformly applying the security policy on all traffic, for all locations and users.
