This document outlines the comprehensive test methodology used to evaluate Secure Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) offerings in securing modern corporate networks. As enterprises increasingly rely on optimized network infrastructures and protection from cyber threats, secure SD-WAN is designed to optimize networking and safeguard corporate environments through efficient WAN link utilization while enforcing security policies across network segments.

The methodology evaluates SD-WAN offerings based on their routing, access control, encryption support, threat prevention, and performance under lab and real-world conditions. These tests simulate various enterprise scenarios to help IT and security teams make informed decisions when selecting and deploying SD-WAN.
