Sangfor IAG improves bandwidth utilization by more than 30% using three unique major traffic management solutions. Dynamic Traffic Control automatically adjusts traffic control policies and intelligently allocates idle bandwidth resources. Intelligent Flow Control precisely manages both up-link and down-link P2P traffic and can customize traffic “packages” for different users, allocating specific traffic quotas and limiting bandwidth for heavier users.

Typically, a majority of internet traffic is protected by SSL/TLS encryption. While encryption helps to keep user and corporate data protected and private, it also creates security challenges when it comes to the rapid growth of malware infections and other malicious content. Sangfor IAG offers both decryption methods including gateway and client decryption to overcome these challenges. This enables an organization to have the flexibility to run either one or both in parallel to uncover encrypted traffic according to your corporate IT strategy and planning.
