The shift to cloud computing, remote work, evolving work habits, and a more tech-savvy workforce has redefined how and where users access applications and critical resources. These changes are driving a transformation in enterprise networks to provide a consistent and secure user experience. This briefing will delve into the convergence of networking and security through Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and the security-focused capabilities of Security Service Edge (SSE), highlighting how your organization can prepare to leverage SASE or SSE to achieve secure, business-critical outcomes.

Many enterprise networks currently in operation were not designed to support the throughput demands of today's mobile and wireless devices. To meet these demands, and provide positive experiences for the business and end users, organizations must harness appropriate wireless mediums. This requires establishing a wireless strategy that incorporates technologies such as Wi-Fi 6/6e, DAS, and 5G connectivity options.

Software-defined WAN offers organizations flexible connectivity, facilitates cloud strategies and improves application performance, all in a secure environment. It also can improve operational efficiencies and help control or reduce WAN costs. Approaches to SD-WAN implementation and supported capabilities vary from one OEM to another. This briefing will explore four of the top SD-WAN vendors and highlight the innovative features that set each of their solutions apart, including a live demonstration of our on-demand SD-WAN lab environments and explanation of how to access them.
