Equinix Fabric is a software-defined network connectivity tool provided by Equinix that allows you to dynamically and securely connect between physical and virtual infrastructure. Equinix Fabric provides automated provisioning that allows the creation of direct connections and allows you to adjust bandwidth as needed in near real time.

Traditional methods of backhauling Internet-bound traffic from branches to a data center for traditional security services is expensive and latency intensive. Many organizations are improving their network infrastructure by adopting a SASE (Secure Access Services Edge) architecture. Cisco SD-WAN and Cisco Secure Edge (formerly Umbrella) SASE integrations give organizations the ability to leverage cloud-delivered security in minutes. This demonstration is designed to give an overview of the integration between Umbrella DNS Layer Security and Cisco SD-WAN.

Cisco Secure Edge (formerly Umbrella) provides DNS-layer security, secure web gateway (SWG), cloud-delivered firewall, and cloud access security broker (CASB) in a single, cloud-native, security platform. Cisco Secure Edge can be seamlessly integrated into Cisco SD-WAN using feature and device templates in vManage. This integration with SD-WAN gives you the ability to rapidly deploy Umbrella SIG services to hundreds or thousands of remote office locations throughout the world. With Cisco Secure Edge and SD-WAN you can create a global scale secure access fabric that is highly available!

Backhauling Internet-bound traffic from branches to a data center to consume traditional security services is expensive and adds latency. Many organizations are improving their network infrastructure by adopting SD-WAN and enabling Direct Internet Access (DIA). With the Zscaler and the Cisco SD-WAN integration, you can rapidly gain access to cloud-delivered security in minutes. This market-leading API automation makes it very fast and agile to deploy and manage the network and security environment of hundreds or even thousands of remote sides.

Carrier Neutral Facilities (CNF) are data centers that operate entirely independent of network providers. They are very large connectivity hubs that provide their customers with access to other services, vendors and solutions.

Cisco SD-WAN provides automated SaaS optimization tools with its Cloud OnRamp for SaaS to the most popular SaaS applications in the market directly from vManage, providing a simple way to ensure application performance and user experience.

Cisco SD-WAN provides automated IaaS integrations with cloud vendors via its centralized management console (vManage), providing a simple and standardize way to ensure design best practices.

Cisco SD-WAN provides automated integrations with Equinix that allow you to turn up edge devices as well as connectivity to cloud environments directly from vManage, providing a centralized place to manage all your infrastructure.

Security Service Edge (SSE) is one of the main building blocks under the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture. SSE focuses on providing security capabilities at the network edge.

As you are probably aware, generative AI such as ChatGPT have taken the world by storm. There is much discussion about keeping employees from sharing sensitive information with these AI.

Risk360 is streamlined Cyber Risk Quantification solution that simplifies assessing potential financial losses and adverse impacts from cyber threats. With RIsk360, evaluate the likelihood of cyber incidents, their potential organizational impact, and the effectiveness of existing cybersecurity measures effortlessly. Prioritize investments and make informed decisions to manage and mitigate cyber risks effectively.

Adoption of Secure Service Edge (SSE) platforms, which provides security and policy enforcement right at the cloud edge, is accelerating and remains key to realizing a full SASE model. In this episode of WWT Research, Technical Solutions Engineer Nicole Portell outlines steps you can take to implement SSE for a secure, scalable and flexible network architecture that optimizes traffic flows and optimizes user experience.
