Impact #1	The company now has complete visibility and control over cloud apps and web traffic, including TLS traffic inspection and advanced threat protection in place, significantly improving their level of security with less complexity in one solution.
Impact #2	Remote workers have direct-to-cloud access and MPLS backhauling expenses have been reduced with the future option of adding zero-trust network access (ZTNA) using the same cloud security platform.
Impact #3	The company is now enabled to monitor and control data movement, coach users in realtime, recommend safer app alternatives, and provide protection from cloud-enabled threats.
