Enplug devices are designed to work with most network and firewall policies, requiring only port 443 outbound. However, there are some benefits to isolating the Enplug device from your protected network.
Application Layer Firewalls
If your firewall is configured to block Java, it could precent your device from functioning properly. Setting it in the DMZ will remedy any of these issues without requiring unwanted application traffic.
Accessing content you don't want your employees browsing is most easily accomplished by bypassing web filtering altogether.
Endpoint Management
Endpoint Security is best used when embedding devices to segregate sensitive traffic. Placing devices on a dedicated VLAN typically won't produce the same results as using the DMZ.
