Also work to content filter and antivirus check of all the traffic the actually past for it

Cons

  • IA filtering
  • Sandbox
  • Scabilit
  • We could implement hybrid work strategy
  • The uptime is excellent with 0 downtimes
  • LDAP
Manage easy connection and double authentication to have more secure connections and protect user identity and avoid outside attacks
