Automated SASE Integration with Versa SD-WAN

This document is a joint solution brief that outlines the integration of Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) with Versa Secure SD-WAN. It addresses the challenges organizations face when onboarding branch offices and data centers into a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture, particularly the slow and error-prone manual configurations required for traditional setups. The integration utilizes API-driven automation to streamline the onboarding process, significantly reducing operational complexity and deployment time. It details how the automated workflows provision secure tunnels and ensure high availability across WAN links. The brief also describes the benefits of application-aware routing, which enhances user experience and security by allowing granular traffic forwarding and resilient connectivity. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of maintaining security through Zscaler’s capabilities, such as threat prevention and data loss prevention, while facilitating a more efficient and scalable network architecture.
