The Cloud-Managed Difference
Unlike traditional on-premises appliances that require constant local management, iboss proxy and firewall appliances are designed for streamlined cloud operations
Cloud-Managed by Default
Register appliances to the iboss Zero Trust SASE cloud and manage everything centrally—configuration, updates, monitoring, and policies.
- ✓ Cloud-based configuration
- ✓ Automatic policy sync
- ✓ Remote updates & patches
- ✓ Centralized monitoring
Unified Policy Management
One console manages all security—cloud users, remote workers, and on-premises appliances with identical policies.
- ✓ Single pane of glass
- ✓ Consistent security everywhere
- ✓ Policy inheritance
- ✓ No configuration drift
Drop-In Proxy Replacement
Replace legacy web gateways and proxy appliances without network changes—same deployment, better management.
- ✓ No network re-architecture
- ✓ Existing proxy protocols
- ✓ Active Directory integration
- ✓ Instant cloud upgrade
Branch Office Firewall with Full Security Stack
Unlike SD-WAN vendors that require cloud backhauling for advanced security, iboss delivers the complete security stack locally on the appliance.
- ✓ Full security stack on-premises
- ✓ User & group-based access controls
- ✓ HTTPS decrypt & deep inspection
- ✓ No cloud backhauling required
