Policies can also be enforced within the gateway for inbound traffic and intra-branch traffic .
The gateway is also capable of monitoring the health of WAN links , which allows for seamless failover from one link to another . These capabilities are possible due to Aruba ’ s ability to offer wired , wireless , WAN and security context and enforcement across the entire branch network .
As more and more applications and solutions move to the cloud , a robust partner program offers customers the ability to leverage third-party defenses that sit in the cloud . Instead of sending all traffic to the datacentre , real-time threat correlation , inline content inspection and other cloud firewall controls make it easy to protect today ’ s mobile perimeter .

receive a decision from the centre of the
network,” stresses AlHaj-Issa.
For solution vendors now, the centre
of attention has shifted to the edge of
the network. Decision making is moving
from the centre of the network to the
edge of the network and the emphasis is
on making the network smarter on the
edge, through analytics and compute
processing. “This is the change from just
focusing on mobility and access points,”
adds AlHaj-Issa.
Devices deployed on the edge of
the network are typically not meant
to be smart, not intelligent and have a
limited scope of operations. Pressure,
temperature, movement, light sensors,
access card readers, RFID tags,
surveillance cameras, are typical of those
connected to the edge of the network.
For channel partners, at present there is no certification titled as SDWAN,
and channel partners need to certify themselves on the individual
specialisations. These include Wireless LAN, Campus Switching, Location
Services and Clear Pass Security.
These devices are elevated to the level of
being intelligent by building their network
behavior patterns. Depending on the
severity of deviation from the normal
pattern of behavior for these sensors,
the right level of network isolation and
security remediation can be activated.
“We are not expecting these devices to
have a lot of intelligence. We are adding
this intelligence by collecting, monitoring
with only help desk roles. The lack of visibility by IT in branch
environments is of utmost concern. IoT devices get connected
without ITs knowledge.
Users find ways to bypass security controls where distance
between corporate and the branches is usually a factor. It is
