Umbrella and SD-WAN Together at ONUG Fall 2019

On October 16, the Open Networking User Group (ONUG) will return to New York City for its Fall 2019 Conference & Expo, and Cisco will be there to showcase its latest networking and security advancements to the community.

We’ve said it before: networking and security must converge to meet the needs of the new digital enterprise. This ONUG is particularly special, as Cisco will demonstrate new interoperability between Cisco SD-WAN and Cisco Umbrella.

Together, Cisco SD-WAN and Cisco Umbrella solve very real enterprise challenges. For example, WAN branches accessing cloud applications without backhaul; remote workers expecting access to sensitive information anywhere; IoT devices, robotics and other connected sensors consuming bandwidth at unprecedented levels and creating additional risk.

With Cisco, enterprise IT teams can deliver consistent service at scale while securing the data that traverses the WAN and beyond. They can cut IT costs while improving application performance.

We are so excited to showcase these capabilities to our friends in the ONUG community. Here’s where you can find us at the conference:
