Proxy
An intermediary that forwards requests between client and server, enforcing policy and visibility.
A proxy mediates traffic, adding policy enforcement, caching, and visibility. Forward proxies sit between internal users and the internet (filtering and logging outbound requests); reverse proxies sit in front of servers (load balancing, TLS termination, hiding the origin). TLS-inspecting proxies enable DLP and threat scanning but require careful certificate and key management.
