DALLAS, March 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- What's the
news? AT&T continues to grow and evolve its AT&T SD-WAN
capabilities, adding new features from Cisco to support remote
workers plus FISMA compliance for government agencies, a federal
information security standard.
Introducing AT&T SD-WAN with Cisco's Teleworker solution,
which offers SD-WAN capabilities for employees working from home.
It provides a fast and easy way for businesses with remote
employees to stand up and manage a home office by using the
employee's existing home internet connection, and layers on the
full SD-WAN stack with one piece of hardware. With this new
teleworker solution, employees stay connected to enterprise-grade
services without compromising performance.
For public sector customers, AT&T SD-WAN with Cisco – FISMA
offers them a high-performance, managed, policy-based SD-WAN
service while meeting FISMA (Federal Information Security
Modernization Act) criteria for managing system security and
risks.
Additionally, now AT&T SD-WAN with Cisco offers customers
with a co-managed option. This provides customers with the ability
to control and self-manage their business application policies,
while continuing to rely on AT&T for managed service support
for configuration, fault and performance
management.
Why are these things important?
"The workforce is continuing to evolve, and having the right
tools is essential to a business – no matter where the business is
getting done," says Will Eborall,
AVP, Product Marketing Management for AT&T Business. "AT&T
continues to adapt its offerings to align with the customer needs
of today, with these enhancements to SD-WAN with Cisco. As a leader
in supporting all shapes and sizes of businesses, and the largest
SD-WAN provider in North America,
we're giving businesses the tools to not just manage their needs
today, but prepare for the future."
"Teleworking or working from home is a shift that can put extra
pressure on enterprise IT groups tasked with enabling highly secure
access to business-critical applications," said JL Valente, vice
president of product management, Enterprise Routing and SD-WAN at
Cisco. "Today's distributed workforce needs superior home office
connectivity that makes working at home just as fluid as being in
the office with consistent connectivity, performance and
enterprise-grade security. The AT&T SD-WAN with Cisco
Teleworker solution meets these requirements by providing an
office-like experience to workers while keeping enterprise assets
highly secure."
What other details should I know?
AT&T SD-WAN with Cisco Teleworker solution emphasizes
security, while prioritizing the businesses applications over
non-business traffic. It's easy to deploy with zero touch
provisioning, getting employees up and running efficiently,
bringing their corporate networks home, and delivering the tools
they need to work with high security. It gives employees full

program. AT&T SD-WAN with Cisco - FISMA enables them to stay
