How do the best SD-WAN vendors utilize AI?

So how does a SASE SD WAN solution use I. know when I first heard that I was like, Hey. Hi. Like, I thought that was more of like a phone system thing or, you know, like a call center thing. Like how. SD WAN using AI and then I actually got some training on on that and I’m like, Oh yeah, remember SASE SD WAN is really an SD WAN solution that includes a cloud enabled firewall service that’s like a next gen firewall security network security service. That’s what SD WAN is. So it’s SD WAN. It’s a cloud enabled SD WAN solution with a cloud firewall component. Okay. So that might give you an insight into where the AI is falling into. If not, let me give you a hint. It’s the security part that’s using AI.

1. Recognizing characteristics of known threats

So first and foremost, what AI or machine learning is doing on the security side is it’s able to recognize known threats. So on the network, your SASE SD WAN solution is going to be able to know what existing threats are out there today. It’s updating the database by the second and it knows the characteristics of those threats. So it’s going to be able to recognize known threats right away.

2. Learning your company’s regular network behavior, and spotting and deviations

The second way a SASE SD WAN solution is going to use AI is the machine learning is actually going to learn your typical network behavior. And then when it sees any type of deviation outside of that typical network behavior, it’s going to alert you to that. You know, hey, this is unusual. This is not the typical thing we see on your network.

3. Can sort simultaneous issues and prioritize largest security risks within seconds

And the third and final way, a SASE SD WAN solution is going to use AI to help you is it’s going to sort simultaneous threats that are taking place. So, you know, there’s always different alerts that are going on on the network. It’s able to simultaneously compile all those alerts and prioritize them into the most urgent ones that you need to handle and alert you to those like, Hey, here’s the order of alerts that you need to take a look at. So it’s doing that all the time simultaneously so that you’re not spending time on a lower priority when a higher priority alert exists. So that’s something I can do for you.

Make sure your company is up to date

Okay. So I hope that was helpful. Obviously, if you’re looking at a SD-WAN solution, you want to make sure that the solution you’re looking at is using machine learning within the SASE portion of the SD WAN to improve your company’s security because those are things you just can’t live without. If you’re going to get next gen security, you need those AI machine learning aspects of it.
