Secure Software-Defined Networking in a Wide Area
Network (WAN)
SD-WAN enables businesses to build reliable, high-performance WANs using cost-effective connections like broadband and 4G/5G, replacing costly MPLS. IPS SD-WAN, powered by IPS, combines industry-leading security with simplified deployment, ensuring optimized connectivity, advanced threat protection, and reduced costs for modern enterprises.
$17.7B
SD-WAN investments are projected to grow from $3.4B to $17.7B by 2022 (Future Market Insights).
99%
99% of enterprises are either implementing, evaluating, or have fully adopted SD-WAN (EMA Research, April 2023).
19.9%
SD-WAN managed services are expected to see a 19.9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) (Gartner Infrastructure Service Market Forecast, August 2022).
With 36.2 million Americans expected to work remotely by 2025, securing cloud-based data is crucial. Secure Web Gateways (SWGs) help integrate security within SD-WAN, but maintaining access across locations can be challenging.
Gartner reports that 40% of businesses will use cloud-delivered SWGs and SD-WANs from the same vendor by 2025, emphasizing integrated network security.
Key SWG benefits include:
- Reduced Attack Surface: Minimizes potential attack routes.
- Remote Work Support: Secures access to SaaS and online services for remote employees.
- Protection of IT Operations: Safeguards essential internet connections.
- Enhanced Cybersecurity: Strengthens protection for critical data and activities.

Modern Enterprises
Simplified Secure SD-WAN Solutions for a Modern Network
Boost Network Performance
Traditional WANs rely on single paths and limited metrics. IPS SD-WAN dynamically routes traffic based on real-time path quality and application needs, optimizing bandwidth and ensuring high-quality transmission for critical applications like VoIP.
Lower WAN Costs
IPS SD-WAN reduces WAN expenses by integrating cost-effective IPVPN services with traditional links. It allows easy bandwidth expansion and provider switching, ensuring consistent value and flexibility.
Simplified Management
Centralized management through an Orchestrator streamlines configuration. Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) enables quick deployment and replacement of devices without manual setup.
Stronger Security
IPS SD-WAN secures public network traffic with encrypted VPN tunnels. Application Intelligence identifies trusted apps, optimizing firewall use and streamlining security processes, improving efficiency without compromising protection.
Faster Provisioning
IPS SD-WAN speeds up connectivity with rapid provisioning, utilizing available links like 4G until others are ready, avoiding delays in operations.
Cloud Integration
IPS SD-WAN ensures reliable, cost-effective connections to cloud data centers, providing the flexibility needed to keep pace with cloud-based applications and services.
Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) are vital for SD-WAN security, offering advanced features over traditional firewalls:
- Application Awareness: Analyze data to identify applications and user behavior.
- Automation: Enable quick deployments and updates, reducing administrative tasks.
- Intrusion Detection: Monitor for unusual activity and known attack signatures.
- Application Control: Provide real-time insights to block high-risk applications.
- DDoS Protection: Detect and mitigate various DDoS attacks.
- Unified Threat Management: Offer comprehensive security services, including antivirus and content filtering.
SD-WAN monitoring is a dynamic process designed to supervise and manage your Software-Defined Wide Area Network for optimal performance and efficiency. With IPS’s SD-WAN solutions, businesses can seamlessly connect their branch offices and corporate or regional headquarters to public cloud service providers.
Unlike traditional WAN architectures, SD-WAN utilizes software-defined networking (SDN) principles, offering enhanced flexibility, performance, and cost-effectiveness. This approach empowers organizations to effectively manage their network resources, tailoring connectivity solutions to meet their specific needs and ensuring reliable and efficient operations across the entire network.
