How Secure SD-WAN Can Help Relieve IT Burdens
As digital transformation has progressed, already complex cybersecurity defenses have become even more fragmented and elaborate, making an adequate security posture more and more difficult to maintain. And failure has serious consequences – from IP theft and the data being sold to the highest bidder (usually your arch competitor), to ransomware that can take your business offline and tatter your hard-won customer data guardian reputation.
Secure SD-WAN that converges security and networking can help relieve some of the burdens on IT because it offers:
-
centralized management for network and security policies, which accelerates large scale deployments with error-free configurations and simplifies operations,
-
consistent security and simplification of an organization’s architecture to reduce appliance sprawl and the need for support and maintenance, and
-
a unified view into traffic for security and network teams, providing faster resolution to potential issues that may arise.
Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN)
Modernize your WAN Edge with SD-WAN
Fortinet Secure SD-WAN integrates best-of-breed SD-WAN, NGFW, advanced routing, and WAN optimization capabilities in a single offering to deliver Security-Driven Networking and enable true WAN Edge transformation. Optimize cloud connectivity and simplify operations at the WAN Edge with Fortinet Secure SD-WAN.
The increased deployment of cloud, SaaS, video and mobile applications has challenged IT and business managers to provide high-quality WAN services to the branch. Deploying and managing the WAN has become more challenging and costly as traffic flows decentralize.
​
SD-WAN has emerged as one of the most transformative enterprise networking technologies in recent years. At Infowhiz, we have a team of experts that can help with the adoption of this technology.
Our SD-WAN solutions offers compelling advantages for distributed organizations with critical branch operations, including the benefits of business agility, improved application performance and lower costs of bandwidth. Distributed organizations should consider SD-WAN solutions on the basis of their ease of use and management, ability to integrate with their existing MPLS network and the intelligence to automatically adjust traffic flows to current network conditions.
The Benefits of SD-WAN
Traditional WAN architecture is limited between enterprise, branch, and data center. As businesses adopt cloud-based application services in the form of SaaS/IaaS, their WAN architecture experiences an explosion of traffic accessing these globally diverse applications. With Cisco SD-WAN, organizations can deliver routing, threat protection, efficient offloading of expensive circuits, and simplification of WAN network management.
What’s driving interest in SD-WAN?
​
-
Cost savings from the ability to use low-cost Internet circuits for enterprise WAN
-
Simplified, secure branch office connectivity over any (and all) transport types
-
No manual VPN key / certificate / IP address management
-
Transport agnostic, with the ability to intelligently use circuits simultaneously without traditional PBR / ACLs / object tracking complexity
-
Application-layer policies and forwarding decisions
-
Centralized configuration and management of entire WAN
-
Detailed insights into path performance, application usage, top talkers, etc.

Cyber Security
The Internet now accounts for the majority of traffic traversing enterprise networks. The Internet has spawned a new generation of applications being accessed by network users for both personal and business use. Many of these applications help improve user and business productivity, while other applications consume large amounts of bandwidth, pose needless security risks, and increase business liabilities — for example, data leaks and compliance.
Do you aware that new threats are built to run covertly on networks and systems, quietly collecting sensitive or personal data, and going undetected for as long as possible? This approach helps to preserve the value of the stolen data and enables repeated use of the same exploits and attack vectors. As a result, threats have become increasingly sophisticated.

This approach helps to preserve the value of the stolen data and enables repeated use of the same exploits and attack vectors. As a result, threats have become increasingly sophisticated.
Targeted attacks and advanced persistent threats (APTs), against specific organizations or individuals, are the latest major concern. Hackers develop customized attack mechanisms to take advantage of the specific equipment, systems, applications, configurations, and even personnel employed in a specific organization or at a given location, and quietly collect sensitive data over extended periods. The increasing speed and sophistication of threats emphasize the need for proactive countermeasures with extensive visibility and control at the application-layer of the network computing stack.

We provide the cybersecurity solutions, to screen thru each application and communications from and within the company and internet, constantly monitoring the activities endpoints.
Network Monitoring
Secure your network by identifying threats and potential vulnerabilities to your network traffic through sophisticated monitoring and detailed analysis.
Endpoint Monitoring
Protect network access by identifying threats on endpoints across Windows, Linux and Mac platforms, IoT devices, and mobile services in your network. Our endpoint agents work alongside your antivirus solution to analyze potential threats, vulnerable software, failed software patches, configuration issues, and other security-related risks.
Cloud Monitoring
Protect your company domain and cloud-based programs and applications, including Office 365, Google G Suite, Amazon Web Services, Dropbox, and Box, by identifying suspicious login activity and other security-related events to your domain and cloud data.
Infowhiz’s intelligence-driven approach:
-
Helps proactively find known threats and hunt unknown threats, enabling identification of threat actors who have penetrated your enterprise’s network.
-
Ensures our experts apply specialized techniques, combined with industry threat intelligence data derived and responding to scores of large-scale incidents annually.
-
Employs behavior analytics allowing our experts to identify indicators of malicious activity and significantly reduce attacker dwell time, reducing the risk of data breaches.
