SD-WAN : Did you believe me?

If you read my recent article about SD-WAN, did you believe Fortinet was the right solution for delivering Secure SD-WAN?

What is SD-WAN and what is Fortinet? 

Very recently I wrote an article about SD-WAN to explain what it is and why it can be useful for you.

I mentioned that EASI is using Fortinet solutions to bring secure SD-WAN to its customers. However, Fortinet is primarily a Security vendor and the Fortigate is a firewall on which SD-WAN is a free module. 

You may wonder: "how good could a Fortigate be at SD-WAN?"

Well, until Wednesday 8th August you would have had to blindly believe me. Fortunately this is no longer the case.

What happened? 

NSS Labs, a company that is well known for releasing yearly benchmarks around security products, just released the first-ever SD-WAN industry benchmark test.
