5G is quickly emerging as an essential WAN infrastructure and will drive WAN expansion and evolution. However, these trends can produce a larger attack surface, unique, cloud-driven traffic patterns, and a greater number of connected endpoints. As a result, SD-WAN and security technologies will need to adapt to 5G-enabled traffic and security postures in the same way they are continuing to adapt to multi-cloud and remote / hybrid work integration.

Specific topics to be discussed include:
- How 5G is being used today in enterprise WANs
- The impact 5G has on traditional networking technologies such as SD-WAN
- The alignment of ZTNA with the zero-trust principles built into the 5G networking standards
- Considerations for implementing ZTNA over 5G networks.

SD-WAN is showing its age. Sure it’s less than a decade old, depending on how you date it, but it was still developed in a different time to solve different problems – problems that many networks and businesses no longer face. And 5G is accelerating that change. Along with technologies such as cloud, SASE, and edge compute, and external changes to applications and workplaces, 5G is upending networks as we know them. 
 
For SD-WAN to remain relevant, it has to evolve or be left on the scrapheap of great technologies that are no longer used. 

Join this event as we discuss:
-  5 things that SD-WAN vendors are selling that you may not need
-  3 critical things to look for as you move toward a 5G era
