The integration between the Aruba Branch Gateways and Prisma Access secures connection between the branch networks and one or several cloud-hosted enforcement points. However, allowing branch devices to directly connect to the Internet may introduce security issues.
As more services are moving to a cloud-based architecture, breaking out traffic locally from the branches allows faster delivery and efficient use of bandwidth as opposed to tunneling traffic back to an aggregation point before routing it to its final destination. This is done by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, encryption, or a combination of the two. It enables a computer to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if it were directly connected to the private network, while benefiting from the functionality, security, and management policies of the private network. VPN enables secure access to a corporate network when located remotely. or dedicated encrypted VPN Virtual Private Network. The MPLS protocol speeds up and shapes network traffic flows.
