Likelihood to Recommend	Cyren For any form of company control on a larger scale where threats can have a very detrimental effect but not suited to SME scenarios was cost factor would be a key component and not require as much automation. Incentivized Lee Atkins IT Manager Read full review	Broadcom In our organization, Symantec ProxySG and Advanced Secure Gateway (ASG) is our primary and second line of defense facing the internet It is positioned behind in conjunction with an intrusion protection service. Before using this concept of defense, our Internet firewalls were continuously being overworked and saturated, slowing down traffic as a result. It is not an option any more not to have Symantec ProxySG and Advanced Secure Gateway (ASG) in our infrastructure. Laurent Tremblay Cyber security Architecte Read full review
