Windstream Enterprise released a new security feature to protect businesses from increasingly sophisticated threats to their network and their data.

Offered as part of its managed SD-WAN service, Windstream Enterprise's new Virtual Network Function Next-Generation Firewall gives businesses peace of mind that their networks are safe from attacks, out to the network edge, while also reducing the complexity associated with implementing a large-scale network security solution.

As businesses move their networks to SD-WAN to easily connect branch offices and remote locations and enable optimal application performance across a cloud-enabled network, protecting the network edge becomes critical to maintaining the full network's integrity.

An additional benefit of Windstream Enterprise's VNF is its ability to be co-managed and integrated via WE Connect, the award-winning network management portal that gives customers a single pane of glass to see all security, network, and voice service information as well as account detail.

"We have a tremendous number of managed SD-WAN locations deployed, which gives us unique insight into our customers' network and security needs," said Levine.
