SD-WAN Migration & Network Security Implementation for an Insurance Company
Project Overview
Fast Tech Global (FTG) supported a leading insurance company in replacing its legacy MPLS infrastructure with a modern SD-WAN solution across multiple branch locations. The project focused on improving network performance, reducing WAN costs, strengthening security, and centralizing network management while minimizing business disruption.
Customer Requirements
The customer required a scalable WAN solution capable of supporting critical business applications while providing secure connectivity, centralized visibility, improved resilience, and better control over branch network traffic.
The FTG Solution
FTG deployed and commissioned SD-WAN edge devices across branch locations, integrated primary and backup ISP circuits, and migrated traffic from legacy routers. Field engineers managed on-site installation and cutover activities, while the remote NOC team handled device staging, configuration, VPN activation, routing policies, QoS, monitoring, and technical support.
Security controls were incorporated into the deployment to protect branch-to-branch and branch-to-cloud communications and improve overall network resilience.
Network Security Enhancement
FTG incorporated security-focused network practices throughout the migration, including encrypted VPN connectivity, access control policies, traffic segmentation, secure routing, and centralized monitoring. These measures helped reduce exposure to unauthorized access while providing greater visibility into network activity and potential connectivity issues.
