Citrix SD-WAN secure web gateway 编辑

To secure traffic and enforce policies, enterprises often use MPLS links to backhaul branch traffic to the corporate data center. The data center applies security policies, filters traffic through security appliances to detect malware, and routes the traffic through an ISP. Such backhauling over private MPLS links is expensive. It also results in significant latency, which creates a poor user experience at the branch site. There is also a risk that users bypass your security controls.

An alternative to backhauling is to add security appliances at the branch. However, the cost and complexity increases as you install multiple appliances to maintain consistent policies across the sites.And if you have many branch offices, cost management becomes impractical.

Zscaler:

The ideal solution to enforce security without adding cost, complexity, or latency is to route all branch Internet traffic from the Citrix SD-WAN appliance to the Zscaler Cloud Security Platform. You can then use a central Zscaler console to create granular security policies for your users. The policies are applied consistently whether the user is at the data center or a branch site. Because the Zscaler security solution is cloud based, you don’t have to add more security appliances to the network.

FIPS Compliance:

The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) develops Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) in areas for which no voluntary standards exist. FIPS addresses the following issues:

• Compatibility between different systems.
• Data and software portability.
• Cost-effective computer security and privacy of sensitive information.

FIPS specifies the security requirements for a cryptographic module used in security systems. To apply these security standards to the processing done by a Citrix SD-WAN appliance, configure FIPS mode.

Forcepoint:

By using Citrix SD-WAN, you can use the Firewall redirect (transparent proxy by Destination NAT) feature to redirect internet (HTTP and HTTPS) traffic from an SD-WAN appliance at the enterprise edge to the Forcepoint cloud-hosted security module. You can redirect HTTP traffic from port 80 to port 8081 and HTTPS traffic from port 443 to port 8443 of the nearest Forcepoint cloud proxy server.
