For use cases, I have created an integration with Active Directory for authentication and privilege-based access control. It enables us to manage bandwidth for users based on their privilege levels. For example, if a user wants to use a certain application or resource, we can provide access based on their privileges. Our second use case was to ensure that the corporate network is only accessible by authorized users to prevent unauthorized access to private emails and other confidential information. It was a domain-wide access use case. Our third use case was to block unwanted and malicious websites. We tried to achieve this through integration with other security solutions, but it was not successful. Also, we faced an issue with Cislope forwarding, as it is not supported in Symantec Proxy. Therefore, we used a reporter server to forward the Cislope to the C.S.I.M. system.

Some SharePoint sites are accessible, while others are not. It is possible that some URLs have been redirected. To check this, we need to check the Symantec database to determine if there is any confidential, educational, or financial information or if there are any symptoms of threats such as ransomware like RED. Based on this, we need to reclassify the URL. If it is reclassified, we can allow that particular URL into the environment.

We are using Symantec Proxy for outbound traffic URL filtering, and antivirus scanning of whatever package is going through the proxy system. It's fulfilling all our requirements.

What we did is we replaced the TMG from Blue Coat, and we deployed the cloud solution to have URL filtering through cloud. When a user starts to work from home, they shift towards the cloud. Whenever they come to the office, they use the Proxy, on-prem solution. It's to secure their users and restrict them within the company policies to ensure they use specific websites or URL categories.
