It provides deep Layer 7 inspection and advanced threat prevention while reducing the need to manage firewall infrastructure. The value is good considering the level of security, visibility, threat prevention, and centralized management it provides. Although the cost and licensing can be relatively high, the reduced operational overhead and improved security capabilities make it a worthwhile investment for organizations with significant cloud security requirements.
