From September 26th to 27th, the "2022 China Cloud, Network and Intelligence Conference" was held in Beijing with the theme of "Cloud, Network, and Intelligent Connectivity Building the Foundation of the Digital Economy". During the two-day event, industry experts and scholars exchanged views on popular cutting-edge technologies such as cloud-network integration, SD-WAN/SASE, computing power network, and deterministic network. Cloud network security integration empowers SD-WAN security advancement and helps enterprise WAN security construction.

Network digital transformation, enterprise WAN construction is entering a new stage

In recent years, the digital transformation of enterprises has driven the evolution of network infrastructure to the integration of cloud and network, followed by the emergence of new characteristics of digital enterprises such as multi-cloud business deployment, diversified business development, marginalized business scenarios, and globalized business scope. The birth of SD-WAN brings open and cloud-based connectivity to enterprise branches and data centers, and plays an important role in reducing enterprise costs and simplifying network deployment.

However, with the widespread adoption of SD-WAN technology, the network boundary of enterprises extends from local terminals, local area networks to remote devices and cloud platforms in the wide area network, providing more possibilities for worms, Trojans, ransomware and other malware. Take the opportunity. Under the requirements of the National Cybersecurity Law and Level Protection 2.0, enterprise WAN security construction has entered a new stage, and edge node security requirements have reached new heights. The entire network needs to have unified device deployment, policy management, threat protection and visual presentation. In this context, a secure SD-WAN with integrated network and security capabilities has become the best practice to effectively address WAN challenges.

H3C SD-WAN Security Solution Systematically Build Security Capability

As a leader in digital solutions, H3C fully shared the new architecture of SD-WAN security solutions at this conference based on the deeper security needs of enterprises for the new generation network system, relying on the four core capabilities of network security integration , to build an integrated all-round security system for enterprises.

Vice President of R&D, Safety Product Line, H3C Group

Chief Architect Fu Zhiqiang delivered a keynote speech

● Unified security management center, eight unified "network + security" operation and maintenance: Facing the needs of unified network and security operation and maintenance, H3C has realized asset, alarm, configuration, service, operation and maintenance management, identity authentication, operation view and The unity of 8 major functions such as architecture deployment greatly simplifies the operation and maintenance difficulty of security personnel, and improves the overall security protection capability and security disposal efficiency.

● "Network + Security" business integration to achieve automatic orchestration of the whole process: from branches to headquarters to the cloud, the security protection capability of the whole process automation, end-to-end network-wide automation security protection guarantees link security, data security, business security, Improve security operation and maintenance efficiency and reduce security operation and maintenance costs.

● Intelligent security gateway, the cornerstone of "SD-WAN + security" integration: Based on the SDN architecture, the intelligent security gateway can help users save the cost of WAN lines, and can better improve network resource utilization, optimize user data access experience and protect user networks. Security, with the core values ​​of branch security, fine-grained control, and cloud-edge collaboration.

● Independent cloud security resource pool, flexibly empowering enterprise WAN security: H3C cloud security resource pool integrates security capabilities such as firewall, IPS, LB, and antivirus. It provides plug-and-play pooled security service orchestration capabilities, and meets SRv6 scenario-based deployment requirements to comprehensively improve enterprise WAN security.

From branch, aggregation to central equipment, H3C SD-WAN security solution provides one-stop service capabilities for network and security integration, featuring low cloud migration cost, simplified operation and maintenance, multi-terminal access in all scenarios, and integration of cloud and network security. Comprehensive advantages such as integration. In the future, adhering to the "Cloud Intelligence Native" strategy, H3C will continue to deliver network security products and services with technology-driven as the core, empowering network security construction under the trend of "cloud-network integration", and escorting the safe development of the digital economy.
