Customer benefits
Historically policies have been administrative documents - written policies and procedures, and time has proven that employees don’t always read them or understand their significance when they are just trying to do their job. Today, the shift toward automating security policies means putting up guardrails to give employees the proper paths to get their job done. And automation ensures that they are implemented in real-time and ongoing.
