The market for SD-WAN has been driven in part by its ability to reduce bandwidth costs and improve the performance of cloud access. These drivers, though, also come with baggage: the reassessment of todays corporate security model. Traditionally, Wide Area Networks (WANs) and network security were loosely coupled entities.
