VPNs encapsulate data and encrypt the data using an algorithm contained within the transmission protocol. VPN traffic is encrypted and decrypted at the transmission and receiving ends of the connection. VPNs can also be set up using L2TP/IPsec protocols, which proves to have much stronger encryption than PPTP.

This means that corporate networks must change as well. The answer Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WANs). SD-WAN brings unparalleled agility and cost savings to networking. SDN created an overlay across the local network, opening up a world of possibilities in efficiency and agility.

The increased use of encrypted traffic, makes TLS/SSL inspection essential. However, inspecting encrypted traffic degrades IPS performance. Advanced Security Everywhere: Internet and wide area network (WAN) traffic is scanned and protected for all branch offices and mobile users regardless of location.

Security policies for MPLS based networks need to be managed at each site and the various appliances must be continuously updated and upgraded. Many organizations today are choosing to migrate to SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network), because it can eliminate the challenges of MPLS networks.

Here is what the experts say… Andrew Lerner @fast_lerner Andrew is an analyst at Gartner specializing in emerging networking architecture technologies, and was an early predictor of the impact of SD-WAN. SD-WAN represents a simplified and cost-effective way to WAN, and that is important because most enterprise hate their WAN s.

SD-WAN uses a software-based control plane to drive on-premise edge devices to dynamically allocate Wide Area Network (WAN) traffic between MPLS and Internet links. Lets start with the network. What if we could build an SDN security layer directly into the network? Is this event possible without custom hardware?
