HN714: Building The Branch Of The Future With SASE Powered By AI (Sponsored)

SD-WAN is evolving to encompass more features and capabilities around security, application performance, network visibility, and more. On today’s Heavy Networking, sponsored by Palo Alto Networks, we look at how SD-WAN has transformed from a simple network connectivity solution to a comprehensive networking and security system. We discuss the limitations of legacy branch routers and MPLS connections, and the improvements brought by SD-WAN and SASE in application performance monitoring and security. The conversation also covers the development of Palo Alto Networks’ Prisma solution, the benefits of SD-WAN and SASE, and the future of branch networks. The episode concludes with a discussion on the role of AI in SD-WAN and SASE systems.
