Reverse Proxy Overview:
* A reverse proxy allows users to access sanctioned cloud applications securely from public or untrusted networks.
* It ensures that the traffic is inspected and policy controls are enforced before reaching the cloud application.
Scenario Justification:
* Users connecting from public computers, such as those in hotel business centers, cannot have a steering client installed, and IPsec/GRE tunnels are not feasible.
* Proxy chaining requires control over the client's browser settings, which is not possible in this scenario.
* A reverse proxy can handle the traffic without requiring configuration changes on the public computer.
Implementation:
* Configure the reverse proxy to handle traffic for sanctioned applications.
* Ensure the reverse proxy settings are enforced via your organization's security policies.
