SD-WANs have been available for almost a decade, and while interest is high, adoption has been light. The reason for this dichotomy is that evolving to an SD-WAN creates new security challenges, and securing the network is not trivial. ZK Research has found that security is now the #1 concern when evolving into an SD-WAN. The old model of deploying a network with a security overlay makes an SD-WAN overly complicated, holding back adoption.
The market is changing today, and secure access service edge (SASE) addresses the complexity. SASE brings together networking and security under a common architecture. Also, SASE is cloud managed to make it simpler for businesses to deploy and manage and should be a priority for all businesses today. Join Zeus Kerravala, principal analyst with ZK Research, and Myo Zarny, Senior Director of Product Management at Open Systems, on our upcoming webinar.
Attendees will learn:
- SD-WAN state of the market
- Challenges with SD-WAN
- Introducing SASE
- Characteristics of SASE
- Business benefits
- What to look for in a solution provider
- How Open Systems delivers SASE
