For years, branch networking and enterprise security evolved independently, each with its own infrastructure, devices, and management consoles. However, widespread cloud adoption, the rise of SaaS applications, and the shift to remote work have dissolved the traditional network perimeter and have rendered the practice of backhauling all traffic to the data center for inspection obsolete. Against...
Not long ago, keeping a corporate network secure was straightforward. Employees worked from the office. Apps lived in the data centre.

The new reality of work Today, your people work from home, from airports, from client...
In 2025, the cybersecurity risks continues to undergo a drastic transformation due to the massive consolidation of IoT and Edge Computing. It’s not just about more connected devices — it’s about increasingly intelligent nodes with processing and decision-making capabilities at the network edge. This technological shift expands the attack surface and introduces new vectors for sophisticated...
According to the prestigious consulting firm Gartner, Intent-Based Networking System – IBNS - technology will be the go-to tool for managing data networks in a few years’ time. It is an evolution of Software-Defined Networking SDN / SD-WAN. If we take into account that SDN technology is still in the implementation phase, what does this evolution actually involve? Basically, the idea is that...
Application-Aware Routing is a change to the way we think about how data packets should be routed through an IP network and is closely related to SD-WAN, Policy-based routing and the use of SLA’s – Service Level Agreements. Ever since the beginning of the Internet, sending information between two Internet points has been done by breaking the information down into packets and adding some header...
Network service providers are currently up against a serious issue: how to improve agility when setting up new competitive services to meet the demands of the IT world. It’s not just about reducing network equipment expenses (needed to maintain competitiveness) but being able to deploy services at a much quicker pace. IT is calling for increased bandwidth from service providers and this, in...
