What is a benefit of using Cisco CWS compared to an on-premises Cisco WSA?
Cisco CWS eliminates the need to backhaul traffic through headquarters for remote workers whereas Cisco WSA does not. This benefit allows remote users to connect directly to the cloud-based security service rather than routing their internet traffic back through the corporate network, which reduces latency and improves performance for remote users. Cisco WSA, being an on-premises solution, typically requires all traffic to be routed through the corporate network, which can introduce delays and additional load on the network infrastructure.
