Having now worked at two of the top three cloud and web security providers I can tell you with certainty that when you see an expensive corporate cloud service offering like “Conglomco EdgeProtect” or “Mightycorp ZeroTrust Gateway”, that is a thing defined entirely by marketing. Nobody designed how it’s actually supposed to work because they’re just slapping existing components together like Taco Bell’s menu. Behind the scenes it’s five to eight teams mostly acquired from smaller companies running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to figure out how to make management happy without burning out.
