Since the start of the 2010s, there has been a growing demand for Internet of Things (IoT) devices and integrations. IoT devices, often coming in the form of sensors and smart devices have changed computing by using vast amounts of data in order to convert analysis of the real-world into digitised formats. This facilitates a […]

In recent years, the widespread adoption of cloud computing, remote workforces and increased network demands has required organisations to seek more agile, cost-effective solutions that can meet their performance, security and reliability requirements. Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solutions have emerged as the best alternative to traditional WAN networks, by addressing the flexibility, security and

As remote working practices are increasingly being adopted by businesses, it has highlighted the importance for businesses to provide reliable and secure connectivity to both home and remote locations to ensure productivity is maximised. Traditional WAN architectures have often struggled with this, leading to complex integrations and poor application performance for users. These issues have

Netify finds the majority of IT leaders need to set budgets before comparing vendor solutions. What should a business expect to pay for SD-WAN as a component of network security architecture? SD-WAN costs depend on several factors including appliance type, ongoing licences, and management needs. For basic SD-WAN deployments, monthly costs range from £80 to

When compared to traditional Wide Area Networks (WAN), Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solutions offer advanced threat detection capabilities. Integrations such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have become crucial to SD-WAN’s threat detection capabilities for real-time, proactive detection and protecting against zero-day vulnerabilities. The incorporation of behavioural analysis and comprehensive threat intelligence also

Due to the high reliance on connectivity, the capabilities of network infrastructure have become essential for business operations. Although this importance was already present through branch office connectivity, the reliance on connectivity has only been emphasised by the emergence of cloud services and remote workforces, where the reliability of the network acts as a key

Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) is a better way for businesses to manage their network across different locations. This is achieved by leveraging a combination of transport services, such as broadband,  LTE/5G and allows a secure connection between users and applications. This replaces the need for expensive dedicated WAN connections and allows companies to build

In 2024, we’re all aware that SD-WAN has transformed WAN architecture. SD-WAN vendors are now viewed as a necessity for any organisation requiring secure public Cloud access  across any combination of transport services, including leased lines, 4G/5G LTE, and broadband Internet connections. By decoupling the network hardware from the control mechanism, SD-WAN is capable of

As an IT decision maker, you are undoubtedly totally aware of how SD-WAN facilitates efficient, centralised management, greater visibility into network activities, improved data traffic flow and application performance. These features are the enablers for distributed networks across branch-office and remote users, which in turn means the investigation into understanding SD-WAN security is your number
