Audra does exactly the same thing a firewall does – it protects your office network and all the devices from unwanted access & cyberthreats – both externally and internally. Yet, with any Firewall, you need to use antivirus, for your PC and Mobile devices as you don’t want to take any chance to get externally affected through your device ports.
