-Granular user access controls
-Managing access to business related application only
-Differentiates access to internal server and clients
Pros
- Wide range of external application categories
- Implementation of policies are so effective for gateways
- Exceptions have a lot of controls as well
- Investigation reports section displays a lot of helpful data
- Hybrid implementation
Cons
- Single FSM should to be able to enforce policy to a single gateway rather than enforcing to all the gateways
- Gateway level control should be there for allowing specific clients
- Some sort of security still should be there for tunneling
- Implementation with DLP is bit tedious as sometimes installing agents throw a lot manual burden
- Best Compliance
- Risk mitigation
- Productivity
- Negative impact: sometimes a lot of false positives arise due to not handling exceptions and block rules efficiently
