Pivotal security features required by a headless SD-WAN, or to secure cloud-destined traffic without hairpinning it through the data center, can leverage hosted security facilities, both for VPN termination, as well as for insertion of other services including firewalling and cloud-based-security (such as Zscaler). The VNF capabilities supported on the VMware SD-WAN Edge additionally allow security service insertion in the branch.
SD-WAN accommodates the needs of even the most security sensitive business. It also returns to corporate IT the security, compliance and control it needs to be safe.
With SD-WAN, you gain unprecedented visibility into the use of data center or SaaS applications. It returns to corporate IT the security, compliance, and control it needs to be safe.
SD-WAN applies network-wide security policies and inserts local, third-party and cloud security services wherever and whenever they are needed.
This architecture, where all components of the WAN are located on premises, addresses the needs of networks that have not yet migrated to the cloud and prefer traffic to flow to the data center.
Management and control (provisioning, configuration) is cloud-delivered, while data continues to flow on-premises between SD-WAN nodes that remain on-premises.
Management and control (provisioning, configuration) is cloud-delivered. Cloud Saas/IaaS traffic is directed to the cloud SD-WAN node, while data center traffic continues to flow directly to the data center node.
