STANDARD SECURE WEB GATEWAY
A Standard Secure Web Gateway allows your enterprise to apply granular controls over your network environment. By configuring policies and filtering traffic based on those rules, you can route traffic without on-premise appliances.
With advanced capabilities such as URL filtering and SSL inspection, your network can detect malware, ransomware, phishing attacks, and other web-based threats. Content filtering acts as a light firewall to deny access to malicious or inappropriate sites.
SWGs are part of the SASE security model, also including Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Firewall as a Service (FWaaS), and Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN).
INTEGRATED CLOUD GATEWAY
A directly integrated cloud-based platform leverages multiple cloud applications in one solution. With additional scalability and elasticity, you expand your SWG from disparate stand-alone environments to one unified, robust and cost-effective cloud perimeter.
The result is a comprehensive data protection platform that eliminates risk and seamlessly integrates with the rest of your cloud security stack. Continue your migration to the cloud with the confidence that your network remains secure. Provide users with optimal bandwidth and low latency.
