3Identity Awareness is the answer, B. That blade is specifically engineered to map IP addresses to user and machine identities by integrating with Active Directory and other identity sources, which is exactly what lets you write policies like "allow Finance group to reach the payroll server" instead of managing raw IP ranges.
Identity Awareness is exactly right. It integrates with Active Directory and other identity sources to tag traffic with user and group info, so your policies can say "block Finance from Dropbox" instead of just blocking an IP range.
Thought Firewall, but user-identity mapping in policies is Identity Awareness's whole job.
