One of the biggest challenges for organizations adopting SD-WAN is that issues like provisioning, meshed VPN, and the complexities of managing multiple network edges can quickly become more of an IT burden than originally anticipated. For example, workflows such as cloud connectivity or tying security enforcement to specific connections can be time-consuming, especially when they need continuous management and configuration adjustments.
This is especially challenging for those organizations that have had to deploy a variety of security tools and point products as an overlay to compensate for the lack of security included in their SD-WAN solution. This can quickly lead to infrastructure complexity, which not only increases manageability burdens but also creates defensive gaps at the network edge.

Mahmud Kianush obituary Negeen Zohari
Mahmud Kianush, who has died aged 86, was an Iranian poet, writer and translator who had lived and worked in London since 1974. He played an important role in introducing English literature to Iranians and also translated many modern Iranian poems into English. He was a close friend of my family and translator of my late father’s poetry into English.
Mahmud was born in Mashad, in western Iran. His family moved to Tehran when he was 12, and he started writing and publishing poetry and short stories in his early teens. His father, a small businessman, was illiterate but was an eloquent storyteller – Mahmud always said that in this respect he was unable to compete with him.
The aim, here, is exclusion rather than qualifications.
One fake university with an address in the island of Saba, in the Caribbean, has sold over 500 doctorates to Iranian officials for $25,000 apiece.
To complicate matters further, the conditions demand other qualifications that are hard if not impossible to measure.. For example, how do you prove heartfelt belief in the necessity of religion or transparent hostility to the West or opposition to all seditions that have taken place against the Islamic Revolution ?
Things become more complicated when would-be candidates are asked to prove loyalty not only to the regime and all its policies but also to be committed to preserving all the existing institutions of the Islamic Republic. This means that those who dream of reforming let alone disbanding the High Council of Guardians of the Constitution or merging the Revolutionary Guard with the national army need not apply.

Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani last week urged the Gulf states to hold talks with Iran. The senior Qatari official expressed hope that this dialogue would take place, adding in an interview with Bloomberg TV: “We still believe this should happen.”
On Twitter, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif responded to the Qatari official’s proposal, saying: “Iran welcomes my brother (Al-Thani’s) call for inclusive dialogue in our region. As we have consistently emphasized, the solution to our challenges lies in collaboration to jointly form a ‘strong region.’”
