ESG TechTruth: SD-WAN Security 25% of organizations cite security as a compelling reason for deploying or considering SD-WAN.

ESG recently surveyed 300 IT professionals at midmarket (i.e., 100 to 999 employees) and enterprise (i.e., 1,000 or more employees) organizations in North America responsible for evaluating, purchasing, and managing campus and data center networking to gauge perspectives on key trends in the modernization of network infrastructure and architectures. Given the attention that SD-WAN has garnered in recent years, ESG wanted to understand the level of adoption, perceptions, adoption drivers, and procurement sources for SD-WAN.
