    We need 7x24x365 network monitoring and proactive protection. eSentire can thwart an active attack which is the most critical part of the service. Unless you have your own SOC and have the ability to address potential breaches in your environment, you need a service like this. Most companies can't afford to run their own SOC.

    The equipment is robust and reliable. It has great flexibility in configurations and is fully scalable in terms of power and functionalities in relation to the needs of each company. It has the ability to integrate with other critical security technologies to provide comprehensive solutions that meet security needs. It has numerous license models, this limits the number of pairs regardless of type; clientless vs client SSL VPN, IPsec, l2tp-IPsec.
