SASE: Network security for the cloud generation
It all starts with the secure network foundation of Adaptiv SD-WAN, plus the added web-filtering layer of our Web Protect solution.

Network Protect is designed for businesses with lean IT teams who want to move beyond the complexity and limitations of corporate firewalls and step up to a simpler, secure and efficient cloud-based network security experience.

5 limitations of corporate firewalls
Corporate firewalls provide network security, but they come with a set of limitations and frustrations that IT managers must navigate.
- COST Acquiring enterprise-grade firewalls can be a substantial investment, especially for small and medium-sized businesses.
- COMPLEXITY Configuring security policies on firewalls is a time-consuming task that requires skilled IT expertise.
- MAINTENANCE Firewall firmware updates are essential to ensure ongoing protection against emerging threats.
- PERFORMANCE Use of advanced features like Deep Content Inspection will dramatically reduce your firewall throughput.
- REMOTE ACCESS VPN access is complex to manage and usually results in poor performance for remote employees.
Network Protect offers IT managers the option to upgrade to a more secure and efficient SASE solution at their own pace. Download our solution brief to learn more.

A Secure Foundation
The base layer Of SD-WAN security
Adaptiv SD-WAN provides a base layer of security that includes a stateful firewall at each branch office. Our edge device operates on a “zero-trust” philosophy that blocks any unknown or unauthorized traffic from the outside. Branch network access is only allowed through the secure encrypted SD-WAN tunnel that keeps your data private.
Firewall-as-a-Service
Enterprise security, zero complexity
Network Protect eliminates the cost and complexity of “next-generation” firewalls. Deep Content Inspection with Unified Threat Management (UTM), Intrusion Detection/Prevention (IDPS), and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) are provided as a cloud-managed service with no hardware to buy or maintain.
Secure Web Gateway
Block malware, phishing and web-borne threats
Network Protect provides advanced real-time threat protection by monitoring over 100 million endpoints and using AI to analyze and detect new malware and protect against zero-day attacks.
Stay Protected
Security that never goes out of date
Network Protect is a cloud-managed service that is always providing the latest protection, no firewall maintenance effort is required. Security policy is managed the cloud-based orchestrator, any changes are instantly deployed across all your network locations and remote My Connect users.
Optimal Performance
Zero dropoff in branch throughput
The heavy processing of Deep Content Inspection is done by our secure cloud gateways, so there’s no overhead on the SD-WAN edge appliance and no added latency. Network Protect delivers a better network experience with advanced security capabilities, but without the usual throughput dropoff of next-gen firewalls.
ZTNA Remote Access
Added protection for hybrid workers
Adaptiv My Connect is our simple ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) client for remote workers. My Connect functions similarly to a cloud VPN, but also optimizes reliability and performance while providing secure remote access. Network Protect security policies automatically extend to protect all your remote workers using My Connect.
