The East-West WAN traffic visibility gap : SASE converges two separate disciplines: the Wide Area Network and Network Security. Therefore, legacy technologies like network firewalls are still needed to close the visibility and enforcement gap for that traffic. The answer is: a cloud network.

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.

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.

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.

The widespread adoption of Software-Defined Wide-Area-Network ( SD-WAN ) in recent years has caused many to wonder whether WAN optimization is still necessary. As such, SD-WAN devices require the deployment of firewalls and other security tools in addition to SD-WAN appliances. The technologies are similar.
