One feature I like from iboss is if you have any issue from one location proxies to access any of the sites by any reason, you can route them via other location proxies. This is a next-generation firewall feature that includes DLP and threat protection. You can do all this in a single pane. By migrating to this platform, we removed the Blue Coat proxy infrastructure and a few of the ICAP related infrastructure that our security team managed. They migrated and decommissioned those boxes. It improved security because with respect to iboss platform, what you can do is enforce iboss once you turn on your laptop. With respect to VPN, we used earlier with Cisco VPN, and if you are not connected to VPN, there are no restrictions from your corporate network. You can access anything using your laptop and access anything on the internet. However, once we have iboss in place, even though you are not connected to Corporate VPN network, iboss is still connected because it works on the internet platform. As long as you just open your laptop and connect to the internet, the iboss agent triggers connectivity to iboss data center, then only allows you to access. One more advantage is that you can route your traffic locally. If you do not have to travel to another country or location to access the internet, you can use that feature and route it.
