Presented by Lee Glenn, Customer Solutions Architect, Cisco & Chris Blanding, SD-WAN Specialist, Cisco

With the business landscape changing and bandwidth needs growing, cloud access is critical, and service availability is paramount.  Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) is a paradigm shift allowing organizations to adapt and evolve to this ever-changing need.  The question remains, how do we adopt and secure this evolving technology?  In this session we will look under the hood of SD-WAN and at how this technology works.  We will discuss the benefits it brings and how to maintain visibility and security in a decentralized architecture.  At the end of this session, participants will understand how to plan for and realize value from using the WAN as the new LAN.
