Today’s enterprise often has no clear boundaries. Employees are distributed across various branch offices and are typically connected via the corporate WAN, but remote/mobile Internet access is also a necessity. 


In addition, customers, partners, and suppliers can all leverage the Internet for authorized, “on-demand” access to the enterprise – regardless of their physical location. 


Within this "boundaryless" enterprise (or any type distributed organization), IT organizations face three distinct challenges: 


Security – How do you make the Web safe for business, blocking Internet security threats and inappropriate content, while granting authorized users access to necessary applications and content?

Performance – While doing so, how can you optimize performance of critical business applications such as e-mail, file systems, multimedia applications, and Web applications?  

Control – To address the requirements above, granular visibility and policy-based control capabilities are necessary to ensure that the business is providing superior security and performance for all users and critical applications
