Digital transformation is fundamentally changing the way we operate networks, data,
and different production workloads. With the emergence of SaaS, distributed computing, hybrid access
and mobility the common ground of service landscape has changed. The latter is no more kept within
the bounds of HQ or DC where the centralized security gear is deployed, but rather distributed
across. While users work from anywhere accessing distributed workloads the common notion of edge of
the network is distorted and blurred. Hence complications arise for the companies to keep the
control of users and traffic in and out. To add on top as cyberspace evolves so as the cyber
intruders and criminals do constantly evolve the security threats and legacy platforms find it hard
to tackle the newly created security breaches.
Distributed access, distributed workloads and apps, distributed edge clearly pointing out that
legacy centralized security platforms needs to be transformed and security should be elastic and
distributed. This is where the concept of SWG comes into play, ranging East to West, North to South
shielding users and units, apps and workloads wherever they are whether at home or in the office, on
the cloud or in DC.
Our SWG service is a tight duo of security over sdwan. Seating between the customers (wherever they
are) and the cyberspace be it the Internet, clouds, DCs or private networks, it adheres to
organization polices, inspects and secures the Internet traffic (in and out), recognizes the threats
and malicious actors, stops compromise and blocks the lateral move, prevents the DDoS and
reconnaissance attacks as well as preludes that come forefront. Some of the features highlighted are
