Choose the zWAN deployment path that fits the environment.
Secure remote access without a separate edge appliance
Many organizations relied on traditional VPNs for home and remote users, but those tools were not built for visibility, network resiliency, and optimized application traffic across every remote location. zWAN vEC gives the user a software-defined edge path on the Windows device they already use.
