Geographic Gating

Restrict agent use to a geographic location:

Purpose: The Geographic Gating scanner is used to restrict access to an agent based on the user's geographical location.

Functionality: It analyzes network traffic or user metadata to determine the geographical location of the platform user.

Implementation: The scanner employs geolocation databases or services to map IP addresses or other location indicators to geographic coordinates. It then compares this information against predefined access policies or geographic boundaries to enforce access controls or filter content.

Usage: Geographic Gating is commonly used in content delivery networks (CDNs), streaming services, and online platforms to enforce regional licensing agreements, comply with legal requirements, or customize content based on user location.
