# What the Secure SD-WAN dashboard shows

The Secure SD-WAN dashboard allows you to monitor Secure VPN features, such as Multi-Link and VPNs, and to view statistics and reports related to VPN features.

Branches represent the VPN gateways and NetLink elements associated with each Security Engine. The SD-WAN dashboard summarizes status information for all branches and VPNs. Various statistics items related to VPN monitoring are available when you customize the SD-WAN dashboard. You can also use these statistics items in Reports and Overviews.
