To achieve this Gartner outlined four characteristics an SD-WAN solution should include: The ability to replace legacy WAN routers and support multiple transport links such as MPLS, Internet, and LTE. Secure VPNs and the option to integrate additional network services such as firewall, WAN Optimization, and SWG.

Thats because SD-WAN appliances were designed to replace routers, WAN optimizers and the rest of the networking stack needed for site-to-site connectivity not mobile connectivity. With SD-WAN appliances, mobile users are still left establishing VPNs back to on-premises firewalls (or concentrators).

Gur Shatz, Catos co-founder, and I come from the networking and network security domains. These were largely untouched by the cloud and dominated by appliance-based solutions (routers, firewalls, etc.). The applications and infrastructure pillars of IT were continuously displaced by cloud-based services.

Service providers can use MPLS to improve quality of service (QoS) by defining network paths that meet pre-set service level agreements (SLAs) on traffic latency, jitter, packet loss, and downtime. However, MPLS traffic from the service provider to the on-premises routers is notoriously expensive.

As a result, they remain susceptible to line failures from cable cuts, router misconfigurations, and other physical plant problems. Some SD-WAN solutions also provide rudimentary firewalls. To enhance network security, some providers offer security service insertion from a 3 rd party vendor.

The use of Internet and zero-touch provisioning, where the SD-WAN routers configure themselves upon connecting the network, reduce the time and complexity of connecting a new site. They connect to enterprises resources through a virtual private network (VPN), part of a network security solution.

Typically, they have the in-house expertise to manage their existing wide area network and feel comfortable adapting to the new technologies of the SD-WAN. Security is often added to the solution via service-insertion or service-chaining. Even simple changes, like a firewall rule, could take days to be completed.
