What is Secure Web Gateway? | SWG Explained

Secure Web Gateway (SWG) protects users against phishing, malware, and other Internet-borne threats. Unlike traditional firewalls, Secure Web Gateways focus on layer seven web traffic inspection, both inbound and outbound. As web security solutions, they apply no protection to WAN traffic, which is left to the corporate Next Generation Firewalls. In recent years, Secure Web Gateways appeared as cloud services. The cloud instances enable secure web and cloud access from anywhere – including outside the office by mobile users. The traffic coverage and solution form factor remain the key distinctions between Secure Web Gateways and Next Generation Firewalls which often provide a very similar level of security capabilities. #catonetworks #networksecurity #securewebgateway Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:33 What is Secure Web Gateway? 01:12 SWG Features 01:34 Why SWG is not like a NGFW 01:51 The Benefits of Secure Web Gateway 03:12 Cato SWG Read more about Secure Web Gateway here: https://www.catonetworks.com/glossary...
