Networks drove the introduction of the firewall. Applications spawned multiple security disciplines from two-factor authentication to secure app development, vulnerability scanning and web application firewalls. We have to make our network security simpler and more agile.

For the past two years, Cato Networks has led a revolution in enterprise networking: the convergence of software-defined wide area networks ( SD-WAN ) and network security delivered as a single cloud service. For decades, networking and security evolved as silos, creating separate point products in each category.

With a VPN, all communication between the user and the VPN is encrypted. The encryption process takes time, and depending on the type of encryption used, this may add noticeable latency to Internet communications. This granular-level security is part of the identity-driven approach to network access that SASE demands.

Internet VPNs also require physical appliances, such as routers and firewalls, to be installed and maintained at each location in the enterprise network. SD-WAN directs WAN traffic across encrypted Internet tunnels. This provides the most basic security needed to send traffic over a public network.

MPLS isnt encrypted by default: MPLS relies on the carrier private network for security because the data doesnt flow on the public Internet. Generally speaking, no 3 rd party can be assumed to be 100% safe these days, so encryption should always be used for data in motion.

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. Security is still a considerable concern when VPNs are used. This is good, but not good enough.
