AT&T on Wednesday said it is evolving its SD-WAN capabilities, adding new features from Cisco to support remote workers plus FISMA compliance for government agencies, a federal information security standard.
Introducing AT&T SD-WAN with Cisco's Teleworker solution, which offers SD-WAN capabilities for employees working from home. It provides a fast and easy way for businesses with remote employees to stand up and manage a home office by using the employee's existing home internet connection, and layers on the full SD-WAN stack with one piece of hardware. With this new teleworker solution, employees stay connected to enterprise-grade services without compromising performance.
For public sector customers, AT&T SD-WAN with Cisco – FISMA offers them a high-performance, managed, policy-based SD-WAN service while meeting FISMA (Federal Information Security Modernization Act) criteria for managing system security and risks.
Additionally, now AT&T SD-WAN with Cisco offers customers with a co-managed option. This provides customers with the ability to control and self-manage their business application policies, while continuing to rely on AT&T for managed service support for configuration, fault and performance management.
AT&T SD-WAN with Cisco Teleworker solution emphasizes security, while prioritizing the businesses applications over non-business traffic. It's easy to deploy with zero touch provisioning, getting employees up and running efficiently, bringing their corporate networks home, and delivering the tools they need to work with high security. It gives employees full visibility into the edge, with near real-time manageability.
