Services
-
Network Traffic Inspection and Threat Control
Enterprise traffic flows across campuses, branches, cloud workloads, and external connections, often at the same time. Deep inspection at the network level makes it possible to identify applications, enforce policies, and stop threats without introducing latency into critical paths.
-
Secure Connectivity for Branch and WAN Environments
Distributed locations introduce complexity when routing and security are handled separately. Security controls applied directly at branch and WAN edges allow application traffic to be prioritized while maintaining consistent inspection and access enforcement
-
Identity-Based Access Enforcement
Modern access models rely on who the user is and the state of the device, not where the connection originates. Session-level verification helps limit lateral movement and reduces risk when credentials or endpoints are compromised.
-
Cloud and Hybrid Security Alignment
As infrastructure spans on-prem environments and multiple cloud platforms, security policies must remain consistent even when deployment models differ. Extending network security controls into cloud and hybrid environments prevents gaps from forming during workload movement.
-
Centralized Policy Management and Visibility
Operating security at scale requires a clear view across networks, users, and applications. Centralized management and logging provide teams with the context needed to investigate events, adjust policies, and maintain operational control without fragmented tooling.
Use Cases
-
01
Enterprise Network Segmentation and Control
Large environments with mixed traffic patterns rely on security architectures that can separate user, application, and service flows without disrupting connectivity. Policies are enforced based on how systems interact, not just where they sit on the network.
-
02
Secure Branch and Campus Connectivity
Branch offices and campuses often carry a blend of business-critical and general traffic. Security controls applied close to the edge help maintain inspection and access control while still supporting performance-sensitive applications.
-
03
Cloud and Hybrid Infrastructure Protection
As workloads move between on-prem and cloud platforms, consistent security behavior becomes critical. Network security and access policies extend across environments so protections remain intact during expansion or migration.
-
04
Remote Access and Identity-Aware Security
Remote users and third-party access introduce variable risk. Identity- and context-aware controls ensure access decisions reflect user role, device posture, and session behavior rather than static network assumptions.
-
05
Operational Visibility and Incident Response
When incidents occur, teams need clarity fast. Centralized visibility into traffic behavior, policy enforcement, and security events supports quicker investigation and more confident response actions.
