Organizations are increasingly moving from MPLS and other dedicated network circuits to software- defined wide area networks (SD-WAN). In fact, the SD-WAN market will grow to $7.5 billion by 2027 with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10%, according to IDC 1.

SD-WAN enables organizations to accelerate cloud migration with higher performance and lower costs. Unlike centralized WAN infrastructures that become congested with internet and cloud-bound traffic, SD-WAN offers dynamic, decentralized networking. By connecting offices to the internet and cloud with a combination of MPLS, broadband, and 5G or LTE wireless, SD-WAN lets organizations stay connected at optimal speed and uptime. However, as offices use SD-WAN to connect directly to local Internet Service Providers (ISP) and Mobile Network Operators (MNO), their networks are no longer secured by the data center security stack and are vulnerable to cyberattacks.

To ensure organizations get the most out of their SD-WAN infrastructure, Ericsson Enterprise Wireless and Check Point teamed up to combine advancements in the latest mobile networking technologies with SD-WAN and integrated security. This solution greatly enhances the user experience and reduces operational overhead.
