Cisco SD-WAN Security is an integrated security capability built into Cisco’s SD-WAN platform. Instead of treating networking and security as separate projects, it brings them together so you can manage connectivity and protection from a single, cloud-managed environment.

It’s designed for how enterprises work today—distributed users, cloud apps, and multiple sites—so security policies can follow users and applications across branches, data centers, and cloud locations.

Cisco SD-WAN Security is built around the way enterprises operate now, not around a single data center model. It helps you:

• Securely connect branches, remote workers, and cloud workloads over the same SD-WAN fabric.
• Apply consistent security policies across all sites and edges from a central console.
• Optimize traffic to cloud applications while inspecting it for threats.

This approach helps you rethink how you deliver both connectivity and security, so they scale together as your distributed workforce grows.

Cisco positions SD-WAN Security as a comprehensive solution because it combines multiple security functions directly into the SD-WAN fabric rather than relying on separate point products. In practice, this means:

• Security is built into the same platform that manages your WAN connectivity.
• Policies and controls can be managed centrally and applied consistently across all locations.
• The design aligns with current enterprise needs—cloud adoption, remote work, and distributed branches—rather than older hub-and-spoke models.

By integrating these capabilities, Cisco SD-WAN Security helps organizations reimagine how they protect users, applications, and data across the entire enterprise network.
