Features & Benefits

Why Consolidate into SASE?

The benefits of SASE are unlocked by a single vendor bringing together best‑in‑class networking, security and observability – with investment protection to transition at your pace.

Unified security operations observability Integrated

Integrated Solutions

Networking, security and observability brought together in a single, integrated cloud service – one policy engine, one console, one data lake. Not twenty stitched‑together products behind a curtain.

One consoleOne policyUnified signal
Secure access for all users and devices Every Edge

Secure All Users & Devices

Seamless, secure access to applications anywhere users work – office, remote, branch, OT/IoT. Every connection inspected identically, with identity‑centric zero‑trust enforcement.

Ease the Transition

Flexibility and investment protection to move to the cloud at your pace – complement what you keep, retire what you don't.

Your paceHybrid

Streamline Policy Management

One policy applied identically everywhere – instead of a separate rulebook per appliance, site and cloud.

One policy

Zero‑Trust Network Access

Never trust, always verify – identity and context based access to apps, not the network.

Cloud Observability

All the signal in one place – answers your board can read, not a pile of disconnected logs.

The Shift

Appliance Stack vs SASE Cloud

Four generations of security were built to see packets and devices – not data and identity. SASE consolidates it all in the cloud.

The iboss Advantage

Turn the Lights On Your Data

Your stack generates alerts. It doesn't generate answers. iboss opens the envelope – and Tech9labs deploys, integrates and manages it for you.

Containerized Zero‑Trust PlatformIsolated • elastic • everywhere

Every other platform runs giant shared gateways. iboss runs isolated, containerized PEPs that stretch to wherever your traffic is – the one architectural decision everything else depends on.

  • Dedicated gateways, isolated SSL keys, dedicated IPs
  • Cloud connectors send all traffic for full inspection
  • Hybrid by nature – cloud, branch & datacenter identical
  • Data residency – scanned & processed in‑region
See the Data, Not Just AlertsAnswers your board can read

Every connection fully decrypted and understood – files, images, forms, AI prompts. Classified in real time, labeled or not. Then controlled: block mid‑flight, strip share buttons, enforce tenant restrictions.

  • Decrypt everything – performance intact
  • OCR reads screenshots & scans; apps ID'd without signatures
  • One policy engine • one data lake • one console
  • Evidence‑backed answers for network, security & board
