Todo o mundo SD-WAN should provide a unified at-a-glance view of your network topology, including registered and online appliances. For visibility, it should offer continuous automatic monitoring of network events, site and tunnel status, as well as providing report-based usage and availability data about your overall network, specific sites, servers, all applications and users.
Truly integrated tools – not a third party add on – can provide you with visibility end to end—all the way from the end user to the cloud, as well as instant and perfect visibility into the quality of every available path.
How Does SD-WAN Help Keep My Network Secure?
Security needs to be built in to the SD-WAN design—not added later in response to security breaches. Centralized support for embedded security, firewalls, access points and switches should help simplify and consolidate the overall management of equipment, especially at the branch and other distributed locations. Check for security that complements and integrates with third-party CASB or on-premises firewalls.
Security rules should be part of the policy and easy to implement, deploy, manage and change universally throughout the system—without any error-prone command-line interface (CLI) configuration.
The centralized, secure, global management system based on a single global policy should automate services and be easily changed for rapid response to changing conditions or new needs. User identity-based control provides an easy and intuitive way to define network access. Be sure you can identify users by name, roles or job functions. |
