Securely Connect Remote and Branch Users to the Cloud
Today’s enterprises are hyper-distributed, with applications residing everywhere including traditional datacenters, cloud data centers or accessed as cloud services, like Office 365. Branches are now bypassing data center security and connecting to local internet providers to reduce application latency and costs.
