- 04
Central policy and operational visibility
Right fit
Who it is for
Cloud adoption
Traffic patterns no longer centre on one data centre.
Policy consistency
Network and security controls need a shared direction.
Outcomes
What you get
Access
Users connect through policy designed around identity and context.
Consistency
Selected controls can follow users beyond the office.
Architecture
WAN and security decisions are considered together.
Visibility
Access and events can share an operating view.
