Reviewers highlight the general business challenge of finding security solutions that provide strong protection while remaining easy to use and maintain. The aim is to ensure users can connect to the network safely and efficiently without compromising their experience.

So I guess as for every other company, security is the main key. You have to think about always, it doesn't matter what you're doing and you have to find easy solutions that you can easily maintain but provide the best security for the users. And it's always a little bit hard. It's always a balance between usability for the users, experience for the users and keep the security. It's very hard balance all the time, but it's important.
