A bright future for secure SD-WAN solutions

Cost-effective, secure, and manageable connectivity is the foundation of IoT adoption, but asIDC reports, traditional WANs are too costly and complex to support the new apps and IoT devices popping up at remote business sites.
As a result, enterprises are now deploying Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solutions for greater network flexibility, security, and ease of use.
Why SD-WAN?
The SD-WAN is a software-based technology that is especially useful for connecting remote locations to a distributed enterprise network.
SD-WANs at the edge of existing networks operate as a network overlay, enabling remote sites to consolidate multiple network functions and applications over low-cost broadband connections.
Because they are software-based, SD-WANs reduce the number of network devices and connections needed at each site, significantly lowering network complexity and costs.
Moreover, these SD-WANs can be remotely customised and reconfigured via software to quickly adapt to changing business needs and to make ongoing system updates.
Similarly, SD-WANs can be delivered as a cloud-based managed service, which simplifies enterprise-wide SD-WAN implementation and eliminates the need for IT departments to maintain their own SD-WAN data centres.
Designed to address these unique requirements, SD-WANs are ideally suited for IoT deployments, and that’s even before examining the key issue of security.
SD-WAN and IoT security
Until recently, enterprises have relied upon Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to control costs when connecting remote locations and deploying new applications.
The arrival of IoT devices in large volume has further extended traditional enterprise perimeters, underlining the limitations of VPNs, which are becoming too complex to secure and, therefore, much more vulnerable to threats—especially at the network edge
