What security benefit does this provide to customers?
- Offloads security functionality from other devices such as network firewalls and Intrusion
Prevention Systems (IPS), which may experience performance degradation when inspecting DNS queries and responses. - provides enhanced support for DNS servers.
- Establishes highly detailed policies based on your customer's business in requirements, performs multiple factors of authentication, detects corporate versus non-corporate devices, checks OS patch levels, and determines antivirus patch levels.
- Provides industry-leading knowledge of application behavior as it travels through a network, and it applies that knowledge to security because it knows how an application behaves at any point in the reply request process
