- Data center interconnect — Regional data centers exchange application and replication traffic through controlled interconnects.
- Internet egress — Internet traffic exits through edge and inspection boundaries.
- Identity and policy — Identity and access services inform segmentation and authorization decisions.
- Observability telemetry — Telemetry and security events feed NOC/SIEM observability.
