Cato Cloud connects all enterprise network elements, including branch locations, the mobile workforce, and physical and cloud datacenters, into a global, encrypted and optimized SD-WAN in the cloud. With all WAN and Internet traffic consolidated in the cloud, Cato applies a set of security services to protect all traffic at all times.

Not only did backhauling remote user cloud traffic add latency to Adrolls cloud user experience , but it also saturated the San Francisco Internet connection and created availability problems, as the San Francisco firewall had no geo-redundancy. Once the VPN on our primary firewall rebooted. Suddenly 100 engineers couldnt work anymore.

At the core of NFV is the notion that network functions, such as SD-WAN , firewalling and secure web access, can be delivered as virtual appliances and run either on premises (vCPE) or at the carrier core data centers (hosted). These may be any network function, such as SD-WAN, firewalls, IPS/IDS, secure web gateways and routers.

VPNs Put Remote Access Security at High Risk In general, VPNs provide minimal security with traffic encryption and simple user authentication. This is a network architecture configuration where traffic is directed from a VPN client to the corporate network and also through a gateway to link with the Internet.

Some of the ways in which VPNs fall short include: Access Management: VPNs are designed to provide an authenticated user with full access to the corporate network, simply creating an encrypted tunnel from the users machine to the VPN endpoint. Without built-in access controls, VPNs cannot enforce zero trusts least privilege access policies.

However, theres no encryption on MPLS circuits and any security features like traffic inspection, IPS (Intrusion Prevention System), and anti-malware have to be layered in separately. Appliance-based SD-WAN generally offers encryption, solving one of the problems associated with MPLS, but its effectively the same story after that.
