What are Secure Web Gateways?
Secure web gateways (SWGs) utilize URL filtering, advanced threat defense, and legacy malware protection to defend users from internet-borne threats and to help enterprises enforce internet policy compliance. SWGs are implemented as on-premises appliances (hardware and virtual) or cloud-based services, or in hybrid mode (combined on-premises appliances and cloud-based services). Vendors continue to differ greatly in the maturity and features of their appliance and cloud-based services, as well as in their ability to protect enterprises and governments from advanced threats and unlawful intrusions.
NetSTAR is the power behind many of the major SWG vendors in the market today and inCompass makes it all possible by being the silent partner powering the filtering solution.
