“German enterprises increasingly view SD-WAN as a vital step toward a full SASE (secure access service edge) solution,” said Andreas Fahr, ISG partner and managing director, DACH. “SASE is really the inflection point where enterprise networking and security converge.”
According to the ISG report, when it comes to embracing fully managed services,
Germany’s powerful small and midsized enterprise (SME) market is at the forefront of adopting SD-WAN, the ISG report says. Because they are more likely to have a distributed workforce, German SMEs will often rely on cloud-based solutions for communication and collaboration. According to the ISG report, SD networks are seen by these companies as foundational in creating future-safe, cloud-first enterprise networks and implementing advanced security integrations, including full SASE or security service edge (SSE) deployments.
“SD networks are essential for enterprises that want to take full advantage of digitalization,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “They provide the springboard for a variety of innovations, such as intent-based networks, intelligent edge, AI/ML-driven solutions and SASE.”
The report also examines deployments of SSE, an evolving stack of cloud-based security tools, including cloud access security broker (CASB), secure web gateways, firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS) and zero-trust network access (ZTNA).
