5G is quickly emerging as an essential WAN infrastructure and will drive WAN expansion and evolution. However, these trends can produce a larger attack surface, unique, cloud-driven traffic patterns, and a greater number of connected endpoints. As a result, SD-WAN and security technologies will need to adapt to 5G-enabled traffic and security postures in the same way they are continuing to adapt to multi-cloud and remote / hybrid work integration.
Specific topics to be discussed include:
- How 5G is being used today in enterprise WANs
- The impact 5G has on traditional networking technologies such as SD-WAN
- The alignment of ZTNA with the zero-trust principles built into the 5G networking standards
- Considerations for implementing ZTNA over 5G networks.
