What is Fortinet Secure SD-WAN?
Fortinet Secure SD-WAN is a solution that converges networking and security on a single operating system that is managed by a single management console. It transforms networking and security, consolidating SD-WAN, next-generation firewall (NGFW), advanced routing, and zero-trust network access (ZTNA) application gateway functions into one platform. Secure SD-WAN supports cloud-first, security-sensitive, and global enterprises, as well as the hybrid workforce.
Why is Fortinet Secure SD-WAN needed?
Digital transformation is the process organizations embrace to make improvements in various aspects of their organization or business. The process includes the consumption of applications from the cloud. Unfortunately, the traditional branch router comes up short of meeting the requirements to support digital transformation. Traffic must be intelligently and securely steered from the branch to its destination without backhauling to the data center at headquarters. Furthermore, the high cost of wide area network (WAN) links, along with operational complexity and limited visibility, make it impossible for organizations to become digital-first. This is why deploying Fortinet Secure SD-WAN is necessary.
