Introduction

You can deploy Forcepoint FlexEdge Secure SD-WAN in the Microsoft Azure cloud to provide VPN connectivity, access control, and inspection for networks in the Azure cloud.

After deployment, you can manage Secure SD-WAN Engines in the Azure cloud using the Management Client component of the Forcepoint FlexEdge Secure SD-WAN Manager in the same way as other Secure SD-WAN Engines.

Important: Networking in Microsoft Azure is significantly different compared to traditional networking. Deploying Forcepoint FlexEdge Secure SD-WAN in the Microsoft Azure cloud requires familiarity with networking in Microsoft Azure.
