The trade-off
Cloud security services inspect traffic on the provider’s network. That means traffic takes an extra stop. The question is how much latency that adds.
Proximity
Connecting to provider locations near your users and infrastructure keeps the detour small.
Path quality
Internet tunnels between your network and the provider may take variable paths. A private interconnect provides a consistent route.
Measure
Record latency and jitter from key sites before and after enabling a private interconnect.
The result
For many organisations, a private interconnect makes cloud security services feel nearly transparent to users.
