  • Faster navigation & filtering

    Quickly find the right sources, destinations, or resources using streamlined filtering based on location, protocol, or custom tags.

  • Consistent user experience

    Apply the same categorization logic across various apps, ensuring predictable behavior and a unified operational experience for all users.
