Braijens Staskevics – Fortinet Secure SD-WAN with ADVPN 2.0: Dynamic and Scalable Deployments
Braijens Staskevics is a Systems Engineer with hands-on experience designing and deploying scalable, secure SD-WAN solutions. He’s skilled in network security and infrastructure optimization, with a strong focus on delivering reliable and efficient architectures, and a broader interest in using technology to drive practical, everyday improvements.
At BalticNOG 2026, Braijens will bring this experience to the stage with his talk, “Fortinet Secure SD-WAN with ADVPN 2.0: Dynamic and Scalable Deployments.”
Dynamic Connectivity Across Branches, Data Centers, and Cloud
Braijens will show how Fortinet Secure SD-WAN combined with ADVPN enables dynamic, scalable, and secure connectivity across distributed environments, branch offices, data centers, and cloud alike. The approach leans on on-demand shortcut tunnels and intelligent path selection, letting organizations optimize traffic flows regardless of the underlying transport.
Rolling Out Hundreds of Sites in Hours, Not Months
The session demonstrates how template-based deployment and automation can compress a rollout that would normally take months into a matter of hours, covering hundreds of sites, while keeping security and performance consistent across all of them.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss This Talk
If you’re managing SD-WAN across a distributed environment, or dreading the timeline on a large-scale rollout, this talk shows a concrete way to compress that timeline without giving up consistency or security. Braijens brings hands-on deployment experience rather than just a product overview.
Whether you’re evaluating SD-WAN options or already running Fortinet in your environment, this talk gives you practical detail on what ADVPN 2.0 and template-based automation can actually do at scale.
