Security Function Categories
The shift to an application environment will demand the adoption of SD-WAN security services strategies that possess the richness to support a programmable and multidimensional application-aware security model. Security as a function can be divided in following categories
Does not require Content Inspection
This includes security functions that form the 2nd level of defense with allow/deny/limit kind of any static authorization- For example- URL Filtering, Stateful Firewall etc.
Requires Content Inspection
This category utilizes agile compute and storage capacity to identify and prevent advanced threats like ransomware and other malwares, sandboxing etc.
Requires Anomaly Detection
Third category is deployed by detecting and triaging anomalies in user, application and network behaviour through analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning. These functions are correlational in nature.
