● App-ID: Accurate application identification and control.
● User-ID: Policy enforcement based on users and groups, not just IPs.
● Content-ID: Advanced content inspection, URL filtering, and data loss prevention.
● WildFire®: Cloud-based malware sandboxing and zero-day threat analysis.
● SSL Decryption: Detects hidden threats in encrypted traffic.

Device Models and Sizing Recommendations
