Secured.22: Optimize SD-WAN and SASE adoption

The session presented by Tim Jefferson and Mike Goldgof at last September’s Barracuda virtual customer conference, Secured.22, is packed with info on how modern, secure SD-WAN can help you overcome all your biggest WAN connectivity challenges in this age of remote work and SaaS operational resources.

Over the course of his presentation, Tim explains in great detail — and with very helpful charts, diagrams, and real-world examples — how the of SD-WAN capabilities of Barracuda CloudGen Firewall help you address the key challenges facing traditional WAN:

• High connectivity costs to maintain reliable performance
• Lack of agility—not designed for cloud consumption patterns
• A difficult and time-consuming management experience
• Increasing complexity as security and network functions intersect

You can watch the session here.

Simplify WAN management and boost critical performance

SD-WAN capabilities can boost system performance and reliability (along with security) in several different ways. Here’s a brief clip of Tim demonstrating how SD-WAN can alleviate management difficulty by greatly simplifying how you define policies and assign priorities for different types of traffic and users:

SASE convergence

Tim also shows you why Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) offerings that incorporate secure service edge capabilities with advanced SD-WAN — which simplify management with a common set of policies and unified controls — are growing rapidly as a portion of SD-WAN deployments.

Modern IIoT security architectures

In the final part of the session, Mike Goldgof takes us through some of the key findings and takeaways of the recent report, “The state of industrial security in 2022.”

As Mike will show, cyberattacks against vulnerable industrial systems can have very severe and costly real-world effects. A lot of these systems have serious security gaps — which is one reason that attacks are on the rise, as crooks increasingly exploit them to penetrate networks or sabotage systems.

You’ll find out how companies are addressing these security gaps, using advanced SD-WAN solutions like Barracuda CloudGen WAN and Barracuda CloudGen Firewall to build modern, cloud-integrated IIoT security infrastructures.
