An IDC MarketScape Leader for Secure Enterprise Connectivity
As enterprises accelerate cloud adoption, support hybrid workforces and modernize global network infrastructure, managing connectivity and security has become increasingly complex. Organizations need networking solutions that deliver high performance, centralized visibility and consistent security without increasing operational overhead.
This has driven growing demand for managed SD-WAN, managed SASE and integrated networking services that combine intelligent connectivity with cloud-delivered security. HCLTech helps enterprises simplify this transition through comprehensive SD-WAN managed services and SASE solutions, enabling organizations to modernize networks while improving resilience, user experience and operational efficiency.
Recognized as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Managed SD-WAN and SASE Services, HCLTech combines global delivery capabilities, AI-driven operations and deep networking expertise to help organizations build secure, future-ready enterprise networks.
Managed SD-WAN and SASE
Modern enterprise networks must support users, applications and workloads across branch offices, cloud platforms, data centers and remote environments. Managing these distributed ecosystems internally can become resource-intensive, particularly as networking and security technologies continue to evolve.
Managed SD-WAN enables organizations to outsource the deployment, operation and optimization of software-defined wide area networking while maintaining centralized visibility and policy control.
Similarly, managed SASE extends these capabilities by integrating networking with cloud-native security services, providing secure access regardless of user location.
Rather than managing multiple vendors and point solutions independently, organizations can leverage a single managed service provider that delivers:
- Intelligent application-aware connectivity
- Cloud-delivered security
- Centralized policy management
- Continuous monitoring and optimization
- Lifecycle management and support
Together, managed SD-WAN and managed SASE simplify network operations while improving agility, scalability and security.

AI-Driven Operations
Managing large-scale enterprise networks requires continuous monitoring, rapid issue resolution and proactive optimization.
HCLTech incorporates AI-driven operational capabilities across its managed networking services to improve efficiency and service quality.
Using intelligent analytics and automation, HCLTech helps organizations:
- Detect anomalies before they affect users
- Correlate events across distributed environments
- Accelerate root-cause analysis
- Reduce manual operational tasks
- Improve network performance through predictive optimization
These AI-enabled capabilities help reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR), improve service availability and enable IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than day-to-day network maintenance.
As enterprise environments continue to grow more dynamic, AI-driven operations become increasingly important for maintaining consistent service levels.
Security by Design
Modern connectivity must be built with security embedded into every layer of the network.
HCLTech's managed SASE approach integrates networking and security through cloud-native architectures that support secure access across branch offices, cloud environments and remote workforces.
Its SASE solution incorporate capabilities such as:
- Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
- Secure Web Gateway (SWG)
- Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS)
- Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
- Remote Browser Isolation
- DNS Security
- Centralized Networking & security policy enforcement through a single observability view
- Agentic enabled Managed service operations
By combining software-defined networking with cloud-delivered security, organizations can strengthen cyber resilience while simplifying policy management across distributed environments.
This integrated model reduces complexity compared to managing networking and security through separate platforms.
