However, the shift to remote work, SaaS applications, and encrypted web traffic (TLS 1.3) has rendered legacy architectures less effective. This hybrid approach balances performance and security

For organizations requiring more granular control, the provides full proxying of web traffic (ports 80 and 443). This allows for:
