This ebook provides 10 short case studies of organizations across industries that have deployed Fortinet Secure SD-WAN. The details of each company’s successful SD-WAN journey can serve as a helpful guide for your own organization’s SD-WAN experience.

This easy-to-read, easy-to-understand ebook consists of six engaging and enlightening sections. Each chapter is written as a standalone piece to help you better understand SASE solutions, so skip ahead or read out of order.

This guide will help you understand SD-WAN technology’s key characteristics and advantages and what to look out for when choosing an SD-WAN solution, including questions to ask vendors. It also provides access to supporting research.

When considering SD-WAN solutions, there are three key requirements to look for to address these trends. An effective solution will offer integrated capabilities needed to enable efficient management and operations, excellent quality of experience (QoE) for both end-users and IT staff, and comprehensive security.

A unified platform for SD-WAN can ensure consistent protection and simplify network infrastructure.

Fortinet Secure SD-WAN and Universal SASE have caught the attention of industry analysts. Our Universal SASE uniquely converges networking and security to support today’s hybrid workforce. It expands network edges and new microbranches to enable secure access to applications.

Customers continue to shift to SD-WAN architectures so they can realize all the benefits that a WAN Edge solution can bring to their networks.

Cloud connectivity is a chore. The big 3 public clouds in North America– AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud–each have their own networking constructs, quirks, and management interfaces.

Distributed enterprises are increasingly shifting data, applications, and workflows to the cloud to meet evolving business requirements and achieve digital innovation goals. However, this can become problematic for branch locations that still rely on traditional MPLS connections to backhaul traffic through the corporate network.

Organizational growth often leads to the rapid expansion of the workforce and the addition of branch offices. This, combined with the transition to a teleworker environment, can place significant demands on existing infrastructure in terms of bandwidth requirements, access control, and secure workflows and transactions that are not only multiplying but now originating from outside the traditional network.

Over the past two years, SD-WAN has experienced one of the highest rates of adoption of any digital transformation technology as more organizations move their business-critical applications to the cloud.

While software-defined wide-area networks (SD-WANs) offer major performance and convenience advantages over the traditional WAN, these benefits come at the expense of centralized security from backhauling traffic through the organization’s main data center.

Operational technology (OT) industries are rapidly undergoing digital transformation just like other organizations. However, the nature of OT environments means they will require security and networking features that IT-only environments may not. Locations may be remote and/or require equipment that can stand up to unusual environmental conditions. Nonetheless, distributed OT assets need to be connected to the enterprise in a safe, reliable, and cost effective manner

SD-WAN solutions have become increasingly popular as organizations request fast, scalable, and flexible connectivity among different network environments, and seek to lower overall total cost of ownership (TCO) while preserving user experience.

Secure SD-WAN connectivity has become mission-critical for organizations needing to intelligently interconnect their remote locations quickly and securely. The challenge is that many SD-WAN solutions don’t meet those requirements.

As modern IT environments become more distributed, the attack surface and corresponding risk from them increases. Organizations can’t afford to have any blind spots and must leverage data from the network and real-time analysis to enable their zero trust initiatives.

This list identifies nine essential elements every Secure SD-WAN solution should provide to help organizations choose a solution designed to grow and scale with their business.

Software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) provides greater application performance, centralized management across branch networks, and lowered operating costs.
