The future of enterprise networking: SD-WAN explained
Software-defined (SD) networks offer a viable means of solving thorny issues, particularly in the case of wide area networks (WANs). However, when the first SD-WANs came out in the 2010’s, vendors promoted them as a silver bullet for a wide range of problems. This whitepaper takes a closer look at some myths and misconceptions about SD-WAN and whether they do hold water.

Zero Trust ‒ A security architecture for a new digital era
Employing internet-based network technologies like SD-WAN does necessitate a comprehensive overhaul of the security architecture. That’s because traffic is now extending out beyond the private network and traveling across public internet lines. A decentralized network that enables direct access to clouds also demands a new architecture to ensure security extends to every endpoint. This white paper discusses the points to consider when modernizing the security infrastructure including the concept of Zero Trust.

Networking and security re-imagined: Premium Zero Trust
Conventional wide area networks (WANs) can no longer satisfy the demands of modern enterprise networking. The increase in mobile devices, cloud applications, and remote work is making these types of networks slower, less efficient, and vulnerable to attack. This whitepaper elaborates on Premium Zero Trust ‒ a new approach to network design which unifies networking and security while simultaneously reducing both complexity and the time and expense it causes.
