The challenge of Stormshield's SD-WAN here is to better control WAN links and management costs without requiring a constant human presence to manually react to link quality issues.

While SD-WAN players offer network functionality, security is not their core business and is absent or poorly integrated. Stormshield offers a secure and trusted SD-WAN approach through a range of Stormshield Network Security (SNS) firewalls, a centralised Stormshield Management Center (SMC) and a Stormshield Log Supervisor (SLS) log management solution. With our solutions certified to the highest European standards, we address both network and security components simultaneously.

SD-WAN is a catch-all term that can seem complex. Our teams of experts are at your disposal to help you understand it and answer your questions.
Dig this topic with Stormshield in an interactive meeting, hosted by Manuel Jordan, Product Marketing. Our Network Security experts, Simon Dansette, Product Manager, and Quentin Tieghem, Pre-Sales Engineer, answered all your questions about this major advance in infrastructure protection.
When it comes to selecting a vendor from among a number of hardware and software solutions, you need to consider, among other things, the product's robustness and trustworthiness in relation to geopolitical and economic issues. The notion of robustness is defined by the ANSSI as an evaluation of products that "consists of testing their ability to resist computer attacks according to a defined context of use and level of threat". The notion of trust is to be found clearly in the product strategy of the various publishers.
As a result, organisations have embarked on structural and digital changes to deliver a better experience for their staff and customers, as well as improvements to their IT processes. SD-WAN is an essential pillar of this, as this technology simplifies the management of networks across different sites while optimising costs. Provided that the concepts of security and trust are taken on board at the same level. Performance, cost, security, trust: these are the four aspects that should guide your choice of a Trusted SD-WAN offering.
This Stormshield whitepaper describes the various aspects that an organisation needs to consider when implementing an SD-WAN approach, in other words a secure and trusted technological approach. This document is aimed at consultants and IT security managers to help them understand the challenges of SD-WAN today.
