Overview

Typical on-prem strategies for protecting mobile users involves redirecting data back to the data center or office for protection. This is usually cumbersome, slow and results in a poor user experience, in addition to high costs from appliance purchases and bandwidth costs at the office. The iboss cloud allows protection to be applied to users regardless of the users’ location. Protection is the same whether the user is at headquarters or working from a home office. This is because the users Internet access is protected in the cloud via cloud gateways. This substantially reduces equipment, bandwidth, labor costs and simplifies mobile security, resulting in better protection for all users wherever they roam.

Lost visibility into mobile user activity results in IT security teams missing critical security events while users are on the road. This results in missed malware infections that may have occurred outside the office, which can result in having those infections brought back into the office when the user returns. The iboss cloud ensures protection is applied to all users anywhere in addition to logging all activity whether the user is in the office or on the road. This visibility provides a consistent view of threats and risks required to effectively deliver a higher security posture.

The iboss cloud is a single cloud platform which means that all features, capabilities and protection are applied in exactly the same way, regardless of whether the user is in the office or on the road. IT and Security Staff can create filtering policies, malware prevention rules and data loss prevention policies that protect users without worrying about how that policy will make it to the user. The iboss cloud is delivered in the cloud and protects users in exactly the same way in the current borderless network world.
