How to avoid SD-WAN’s five key security vulnerabilities

Our video series explains how to bolster your SD-WAN security.

Without a doubt, SD-WAN delivers in terms of network visibility, flexibility and scalability, but it’s essential you embrace it with your eyes wide open.

Hackers can now exploit the fact that your SD-WAN devices are directly connected to the internet and your organisation may be exposed to fresh security vulnerabilities.

So how do you protect your critical assets and data from these new threat vectors?

Knowledge is defence: discover the security implications of your SD-WAN devices being directly connected to the internet. Watch our video to find out how you can defend your network.
Want to know how to protect your SD-WAN management platform from cyber attack? Watch to discover how direct accessibility via the internet can be exploited by hackers and the most effective defence options open to you.
Now your SD-WAN is internet-connected, how do you prevent large traffic flows from being identified and exploited? Watch to discover the best solutions for controlling and protecting your data paths.
Watch to find out how to mitigate the security vulnerabilities caused by your SD-WAN traffic flowing across zones of zero trust. We explain why this vulnerability in the orchestration layer is unavoidable and explore how to mitigate against potential attack.
Physical security is vital to protect your SD-WAN endpoints from exploitation, attack and accidental disablement. Watch to understand what could leave your SD-WAN vulnerable and how to mitigate against these susceptibilities.

Many enterprises simply transfer their traditional approaches to security over to the world of SD-WAN. They fail to reassess their security needs and leave themselves open to breaches such as a DDoS attack knocking out their network or a hacked SD-WAN site giving access to unencrypted customer traffic.

Robust SD-WAN security starts with an awareness of how internet connectivity brings increased vulnerability to cyber attack. Only then can you put mitigating defences in place.

Watch our five expert videos to discover what risks you now face and how to protect your organisation.
