Secure Web Gateway
Outbound traffic filtering
Secure Web Gateway (SWG) protects users from internet threats by filtering outbound HTTP/HTTPS traffic at the edge. The system blocks malware, phishing, command & control, and risky websites in real time, using threat intelligence derived from handling 20% of global web traffic. SSL/TLS inspection decrypts encrypted traffic for deep inspection without impacting performance. Granular policies allow access control by category, user, device, and location.
