The hidden costs of proxyin

The way in which companies and their users interact with the web has changed enormously in the last few years. Companies are now relying more and more on web based applications to run their businesses, such as Salesforce, Google Apps and Microsoft Office365. There has been a monumental shift towards mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) and a growing trend of people working remotely and on the move. These changes bring with them new challenges for IT administrators to maintain effective web security without compromising on productivity and flexibility.
