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.

Traditionally, Wide Area Networks (WANs) and network security were loosely coupled entities. Networking teams focussed on the connectivity between locations; security teams focussed on protecting against malware threats and other external or application-layer security issues.

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.

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.

MPLS cost reduction is the target of the emerging SD-WAN market that is bustling with solutions looking to take the corporate wide area network to a whole new level. MPLS isnt encrypted by default: MPLS relies on the carrier private network for security because the data doesnt flow on the public Internet.

Companies needing to connect their users to the services in the cloud, who have been using a wide-area network (WAN) with MPLS for security, are seeing the benefits of using a software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) for connectivity.

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. What if we could build an SDN security layer directly into the network? Where SDN has traction is within the discipline of SD-WAN.

Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WANs) promised to address the high costs, rigidity and limitations of private MPLS services. To achieve those aims, SD-WAN nodes form an encrypted overlay across the underlying data services, such as xDSL and 4G Internet services, or private services, such as MPLS circuits.

With MPLS revenue streams at risk, the carriers are pursuing a two-prong strategy: augmenting MPLS with Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) and adding value-add services to the core network with Network Function Virtualization (NFV). We call this the Network Function Cloudification (NFCL) fabric.

While SD-WANs are a valuable first step towards evolving the wide area network , they only address a small part of the dissolved enterprise perimeter challenge. In addition to the encryption used to secure SD-WAN tunnels, branches also require URL filtering, anti-malware, IDS/IPS, sandboxing and more.

Simplifying Networking and Security in the Cloud Integrating security appliances is the common approach touted by large security vendors, but that only perpetuates the sizing and scalability problems inherent in appliances. The more devices that NAT, the more end-to-end encrypted sessions we run, the less visibility we have into our traffic.
