Research Overview

The rapid digital transformation, the expanding distributed environment, and the rising demand for high-performance applications and enhanced user experiences indicate the importance of converging both networking and security as businesses scale. Many organizations realize that they cannot leave security as an afterthought when transforming their network infrastructure. When security and networking converge, only then can networks evolve to meet the rapidly changing business needs without compromising on security. The shift from MPLS to secure SD-WAN is expected to continue over the next 3-5 years. Organizations will be able to deliver great connectivity performance and user experience to employees; at the same time, their security solutions should be flexible and scale with their expanding digital footprint.
