White paper: SD-WAN in the age of digital transformation

Achieving business agility without complicating network security.

Johannesburg, 15 Oct 2021

Most organisation are in the midst of some form of digital transformation (DX), transforming how they bring products and services to the market – and ultimately deliver value to their customers. But DX initiatives also bring complexity for the network operations team. With business-critical services distributed across multiple clouds, this leads to potential performance issues, especially at branch locations.

Given these realties, it is no wonder that software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) technology is rapidly going mainstream. Unfortunately, SD-WAN is an example of the paradox of DX: Transformation technology can potentially move the business to the next level, but the expanded attack surface it creates can expose the organisation to significant risk. That is why SD-WAN deployment, like every other DX effort, should be accompanied by a security transformation (SX) that rethinks outdated principles, broadens protection beyond the data centre and integrates the security architecture for centralised visibility and control.
