Heavy Networking 487: Fortinet And The Secure SD-WAN (Sponsored) - a podcast by Packet Pushers Interactive, LLC

Fortinet sponsors today’s Heavy Networking podcast. You probably know Fortinet as a firewall company, but today’s conversation focuses on Fortinet’s Secure SD-WAN capabilities.

We discuss:



* The evolution of business drivers for SD-WAN from cost savings to application optimization

* How Fortinet leverages its application ID capabilities from its NGFW for SD-WAN

* Fortient’s ability to decrypt and inspect SSL/TLS traffic for SD-WAN and security policies

* Centralized management for SD-WAN and security from one console
