Some weeks ago, Paul and I published a quick analysis of how COVID-19 is impacting enterprise network-traffic-patterns. That blog was written when -at least for most of the Western world- the most crippling and limiting limitations started to be mandated by national and local governments.

I shared a security panel with fellow […]

When we announced our Cloud-First WAN a few months ago, we put the market on notice that from now, not only companies that operate globally but also enterprises operating in a region will be able to take advantage of our fully managed SD-WAN as a service offering.
