Choosing Your Deployment Method
Overview
The cloud provides flexible deployment options designed to secure your users regardless of their physical location or network infrastructure.
You are not limited to a single approach. A comprehensive security strategy often combines router-level protection for the main headquarters with endpoint agents to secure remote workers.
Core Deployment Methods
Deployment Type | Best For | Focus & Description |
|---|---|---|
Network (Router / Firewall) | Office buildings, guest Wi-Fi, and IoT hardware. | Modifies the DNS forwarders on your main gateway. This instantly extends baseline protection to every device operating behind your public IP address without requiring local software installations. |
CloudBox (Local Virtual Appliance) | Active Directory integration and granular internal reporting. | It manages local traffic and applies specific filtering policies based on the individual user or group. |
Endpoint Agents (ClientShield) | Remote workers, traveling laptops, and roaming smartphones. | A lightweight application installed directly on the user's device. It enforces your exact company security policies regardless of the external Wi-Fi or cellular network they join. |
To begin your setup, determine the best approach for your current infrastructure and proceed to the corresponding configuration guide within the Deployments section of the platform.
