Forcepoint provides you with the reporting that allows you to see the threat information and if there are any threats present.
You can see traffic going to a different country like China as an example. We can see the traffic and decide if they are going to block it and if we are able to block that IP from the firewall.
Also, it will check the functionality that is the most inexpensive and we can see the most important features. We can see whether some country is malicious. We can say this specific connection going to the specific malicious country, we can block that specific URL or specific country IP address from that security console. So, that is the most useful feature in the Web Security console.

No matter whether it's on Office 365, Exchange (on-premise), or Google (or any other cloud). The Sandbox updates on a regular basis, and the flexibility of policy configuration, white-listing is pretty good.

We wanted to utilize all of the network resources in a unified manner. We didn't want to waste other ISP resources. That is the reason why we purchased this firewall.
