Proxy access via Google Workplace

MetaDefender IT Access utilizes a secure access method called proxy-based access. This method uses a combination of proxies to provide device compliance based access control to applications that can limit access based on location. This approach is designed with Google Workspace Context-Aware Access (IP Based).
