Heavy Networking 487: Fortinet And The Secure SD-WAN (Sponsored)

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.
Fortinet’s offering combines SD-WAN and security features such as Next-Gen firewall in the same appliance, including key features such as application identification, dynamic path selection, and SLA monitoring.
Joining us today to talk about Secure SD-WAN are Nirav Shah, senior director of products and solutions; and Alex Samonte, director of technical architecture.
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
* Hardware acceleration with purpose-built ASICs
* How Fortinet supports public cloud use cases
* More
