Adoption of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) is on an upward spiral. Both are attractive alternatives to provisioned Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) architectures, providing improved performance and application policy enforcement, better network visibility, and lower costs. A closer look reveals additional advantages of using each—and the synergies of combining SASE & SD-WAN.


SD-WAN is perfect for those needing high performance WAN connectivity and security services.

Testing SASE and SD-WAN - Ensuring Scalability, Reliability, and Performance

The accelerating adoption of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) environments has great potential for enhancing security and performance while cutting costs compared to traditional Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) or dedicated point-to-point lines. However, modern virtualized architectures also increase the complexity of testing, introducing new risks.

SASE and Zero Trust: A Spirent Perspective

Trust Spirent to Keep You a Step Ahead

Cloud and Virtual Infrastructure Validation 

SD‑WAN is quickly evolving from upholding physical on-premises connectivity to becoming cloud-centric. This was accelerated by the Covid pandemic, where remote work became widespread, and redefined networking in the process. This disruption resulted in more sophisticated threats, which in turn has elevated the urgency and importance of holistic security. 

Spirent has developed a three-step testing strategy guideline to help manage Secure SD-WAN complexity, ensure comprehensive security, and help realize the full potential of the technology while controlling costs.
