Companies today must move quickly to meet evolving business needs, but also ensure intellectual property remains protected. Balancing these two critical requirements-agility and security-is nearly impossible using legacy networking and security approaches. What's needed instead is a cloud-centric and agile approach enabled by SD-WAN and cloud security.

On Tuesday, October 23, attendees will learn how GHD is leveraging Riverbed SD-WAN and the Zscaler Cloud Security Platform to streamline its networking and security functions. With Riverbed, GHD rapidly provisioned and connected 50 new sites in just four weeks. And, with Zscaler cloud security, GHD is providing advanced protection for GHD employees, regardless of their location. As a result, GHD is driving stronger collaboration amongst its global project teams and anticipates annual cost savings of USD 1 million-all while simplifying operations, increasing business agility, and delivering secure, optimized experiences for all users. GHD is one of the world's leading professional services companies, providing engineering, architectue, environmental and construction services in global markets of water, energy and resources, environment, property and buildings, and transportation.
