Any SD-WAN should build a virtual overlay of encrypted tunnels between locations. The SD-WAN make configuring this mesh of tunnels simple, managing the encryption keys, creating the tunnels, and automating their full mesh setup. This solution will work, we have been using mobile VPN for years, but users will hate it.

Yet, MPLS as a service offering and as protocol is limited in many ways: MPLS requires an end to end physical control of the connection: to achieve its QoS objectives dedicated infrastructure has to be deployed to all connected locations and coordinated through the carrier. Is MPLS a required component of your WAN strategy?

Traditional VPN solutions enable connectivity for mobile and remote employees but do little to enable the same visibility and control possible on-premises. This is because each cloud platform often comes with its own set of security policies and protocols creating silos and blindspots within the network.

Tools such as firewalls, data encryption, two-factor authentication, and a VPN can help, while consistent employee training on best practices for secure remote working is also key. This also means the IT teams in charge of cybersecurity protocols are more likely to have turnover, and critical needs can get lost in the shuffle.
