Techniques for automatically integrating SD-WAN constructs to security policies are described. The techniques may include defining, by a security cloud provider, a security policy for an entity, the entity represented by a VPN security policy label and the security policy absent source and destination CIDR IP addresses. The security cloud provider notifies an SD-WAN controller of the security policy. The SD-WAN controller maps the VPN security policy label to an IP address pool and a VPN ID. The SD-WAN controller generates an enhanced security policy by automatically adding source and destination CIDR IP addresses to the security policy. The SD-WAN controller deploys the enhanced security policy to an SD-WAN branch router and generates a VPN segment between the SD-WAN branch router and the security cloud provider to establish a common secure internet gateway tunnel for the IP address pool.
