AI in the offering

No proprietary AI product. OpenVPN's Cyber Shield (content filtering, IDS/IPS) is rule/signature-based network security rather than an AI/ML offering; the portfolio centers on the open-source OpenVPN protocol, ZTNA and SASE-style access controls (identity, device posture and IP policies).
