Caching provides strategic benefits for secure web gateway investments by improving user experience and controlling bandwidth costs. With liberal internet policies, caching can satisfy users with faster response times while achieving stable annual bandwidth costs versus rising costs without caching. Specifically, 30% caching can deliver the same or reduced bandwidth compared to no caching despite higher internet usage. While unit bandwidth costs are decreasing, total budgetary outlays for bandwidth are increasing. Caching saves on these costs over 5 years and also improves performance for subsequent content requests and video streaming. This balances providing a good user experience with managing IT budgets.
