A proxy acts as an intermediary between a user and the internet, verifying and forwarding user requests for inspection. While traditional (physical) proxies are generally regarded as the best way to inspect inline traffic, they are also costly, prone to legacy, and face capacity and compatibility issues. A cloud proxy, on the other hand, solves these problems by placing the traffic inspection process in the cloud. Cloud proxies can scale globally to provide comprehensive security for in-office and remote workers, reduce IT spending, meet and exceed compliance and security benchmarks, provide an enhanced user experience, and shield the organization from outside visibility.
