In such a scenario, the company's network and security solutions are likely to have been supplied by two providers.

With SD-WAN, on the other hand, it's possible to secure each colleague via a downloadable SaaS license for their device, which protects the endpoint and corporate network, irrespective of location and using only a basic internet service from any provider.

Using network firewall or SASE-based cloud services, IT leaders are then empowered by one integrated solution, which delivers rapid cloud connectivity and transparent visibility to each endpoint via a "Single pane of glass".

With advanced routing and self-healing capabilities, the right SD-WAN solution will also automatically detect the speed, performance, and traffic on the network, understand it, and "Fix" itself according to real-time activity.

If a company operates a BYOD regime, the IT leader can also set policies and workflows with IP, time, or functionality rules, so that the same network security and performance is guaranteed.

In short, endpoint-borne risks such as firewall weaknesses or unsecure home routers will not pose a threat to corporate networks, because access is controlled dynamically by the SD-WAN solution based on colleagues' real-time security posture.
