VMware: Pushing Boundaries with SD-WAN: SASE at It's Best
Evolving business requirements to deliver connectivity to any user on any device, any cloud, and any app demand a digital transformation spanning distributed edge, data center and cloud—and enabled by a new digital foundation. The legacy WAN must undergo a drastic change to be part of this new digital foundation. Customers are rapidly adopting a new secure access service edge (SASE) architecture model. VMware can enable organizations to transform their WAN edge, and build a new digital foundation for new app adoption and multi-cloud deployments. Join this session to learn about VMware’s powerful client to cloud to container, and how this vision—along with its unique network of cloud services and global footprint of cloud gateways—pushes the boundaries of edge and cloud, and delivers a SASE platform with intrinsic security.

The Future of Network Security Is in the Cloud: Introducing the Secure Access Service Edge
Neil MacDonald, Distinguished VP Analyst, Gartner
Digital business is turning organizations inside out. More users, data, systems and applications will be outside of the enterprise than inside. This drives a need for cloud-based delivery of networking (notably SD-WAN) and security capabilities (notably SWG) to get closer to the users that need access to the internet and their data, systems and applications that are pretty much everywhere but a central office. Here, we introduce the secure access service edge where SD-WAN, FWaaS, SWG, CASB, WAF, DNS protection and ZTNA converge over the next several years creating significant disruption in the vendor landscape and opportunities for every organization.
