Workshop Description: Constructing a Secure SD-WAN Architecture

As organizations transition to a digital business model, corporate networks are stretched thin. The adoption of cloud services, the virtualization of the traditional network, and an increasingly mobile workforce accessing applications in the cloud, their network topologies are being significantly impacted. Plus, organizations require better connections to branch offices to deliver higher-quality network services.

The traditional WAN is struggling to keep up with this digital transformation because it relies on a static infrastructure of devices that simply can’t accommodate shifting and often temporary resource allocation and workloads. In this workshop, participants learn how Secure SD-WAN solves these problems.

Participants who attend this workshop will learn how to:

• Apply software-defined networking (SDN) to software control of wide-area networks in an enterprise environment
• Implement application control and traffic shaping over SD-WAN
• Use FortiManager to enable unified policy across thousands of enterprise branches
• Use SD-WAN Overlay Templates to facilitate SD-WAN deployments
• Configure SD-WAN on a standalone FortiGate
• Configure virtualized products supporting WAN aggregation while gaining hands-on experience
