- should provide access to resources on the basis of priority.
- should provide protection against well-known Windows exploits, virus-infected personal computers, centrally managed automated botnets. compromised webservers, known spammersThackers. and phishing proxies.
- should provide flexibility to enforce the desired level of security check inspections for the requests originating from a specific geolocation database.
