experience, internet traffic requirements to be locally breakout.
You can
route traffic locally and can install stacks of security hardware in every remote/branch
enterprise office. The complexity of installing and handling the design part is
very much difficult.. Conventional firewalls are simply overcome by cloud apps,
since they don’t have capability to support the extreme capacity of long-lasting
connections the apps create, and they also not able to grip SSL-encrypted traffic
or non-standard ports and protocols.
