SD-WAN is the topic for today’s Tech Bytes conversation with sponsor Fortinet.
If you’ve paid any attention to the SD-WAN market over the past couple of years, you know you have a lot of vendor choices. In this episode, we talk with Fortinet about how it differentiates itself from competitors, including its ability to inspect TLS 1.3, custom ASICs, and more.
Our guests from Fortinet are Alex Samonte, director of technical architecture; and Nirav Shah, senior director of products and solutions.
We discuss:
* How Fortinet handles TLS for traffic encryption and application identification
* The challenges of TLS 1.3 and how Fortinet addresses them
* Fortinet’s use of custom ASICs for security and SD-WAN
* Integrations with Azure ExpressRoute and AWS Direct Connect
* The evolution of SD-WAN at the branch
