Is MPLS Secure? MPLS security is based on the fact that it is a private network vs. the public Internet. This is a no-brainer: MPLS networks are often not encrypted and SD-WAN require organizations to think about encryption, something they may not have done before. However, SD-WAN or MPLS arent security solutions.
