Podcast: The coming convergence of network and security

Aryaka Networks offers The Cloud-First WAN for Dummies, co-authored by today's guest. The global pandemic has fueled an increased acceleration towards cloud-first architectures and need for simplicity and better change management. As enterprises move their applications to the cloud, they are shifting away from traditional legacy architectures towards cloud-first architectures that deliver flexibility, simplicity and better alignment with fast-changing business needs. Last year, Gartner predicted this convergence of network and security as-a-service, specifically on the WAN side, dubbing it Secure Access Service Edge (SASE).” Shashi Kiran, Chief Marketing and Product officer of Aryaka, a global leader in cloud-first SD-WAN believes this SASE vision will take 3-5 years to pan out, but both security and network vendors are trying to fill holes in their portfolio to develop the right building blocks to address the needs for this convergence. He’s here today to talk about how he sees this as the next MAJOR inflection point in the wide area network (WAN).
