My employer is not using Sonicwalls solution, but a home grown proprietary solution.

But please don’t take that as evidence in favor of doing it yourself - their capability in this area is atypical.

Hadn’t heard of it, reading up on it I think my employer (a very large company) has already implemented a form of it effectively. For us it’s taken the form of a trusted auth service for all of our internal websites/services with everything now being directly Internet facing. This means that you can access (almost) everything without a VPN from anywhere, and it removes the idea of “internal” traffic being trustworthy. It’s mostly been pretty nice from a user perspective.

It also sounds like a buzzword that a lot of companies are trying to use to sell you bundles of saas products.

There’s value in “I want to run this code 10 million times and I don’t want to have to figure out how to scale that out”
