Challenges of Traditional SD-WANs

Traditional SD-WANs expand the attack surface and allow lateral threat movement, undermining the enterprise security posture.  These devices connect various sites through site-to-site VPNs or routed overlays, establishing an implicit trust that grants unrestricted access to critical business resources, even for compromised entities. With the rising number of security threats and the adoption of IoT/OT devices, which are often invisible to the network, it is crucial for organizations to ensure their WAN infrastructure adheres to zero trust principles.
