Enhance Network Security with Fortinet Secure SD-WAN

Have your customers mentioned concerns around network security, particularly with a growing hybrid workforce? There’s no doubt that an increasing number of organisations are searching for a solution that delivers secure SD-WAN on-premises and in the cloud.

SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network) is networking technology that works with software-defined networking principles to manage and improve wide area network performance. This includes safely connecting users from any location with centralised control and clear visibility.

According to the PwC 2025 Global Digital Trust Insights survey, only 2% of companies say they have implemented cyber resilience across their organisation. This could be costly, as data suggests the estimated cost of the average data breach is $3.3 million. Plus, 42% of organisation leaders rank cloud-related threats as the highest cyber threat.

Why are customers concerned?

Breaches of network security are clearly high on the agenda when it comes to safeguarding data, confidential information and substantial investments for many businesses.

Organisations today often have branch offices, hybrid workers in remote locations and a significant increase in traffic across their network. As a result, backhauling traffic from multiple locations to a central location can cause latency and restrict performance across applications.

Customers may also be handling issues, such as:

• Network visibility: without SD-WAN, businesses may struggle with an opaque network.
• Security violations: lapses in network protection can lead to breaches which may compromise sensitive data.
• Business scalability: without a robust network, it’s challenging for organisations to achieve targets and grow.

Poor user experience with existing architecture is encouraging organisations to review network security solutions and their ability to innovate. Statistics show that more than 60% of SD-WAN customers will have implemented SASE architecture by the end of 2024. Customers looking to expand and enhance performance need a reliable SD-WAN solution.
