Protecting Branch SD-WAN Internet Connections to the Cloud from Cyber-Attacks

As enterprises move their branch applications to the cloud, they are adopting Software Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) to intelligently route traffic directly to the internet without passing it through the datacenter. Connecting branch offices directly to the internet significantly increases their security risk by exposing them to sophisticated multi-vector Gen V cyber-attacks. Securing SD-WAN connections to the cloud is essential in helping enterprises combat today’s advanced cyber threats.
