Web application firewalls and secure web gateways

What are Web Application Firewalls and Secure Web Gateways (SWG)?

Web Application Firewalls and Secure Web Gateways (SWG) are two essential cybersecurity solutions that play a pivotal role in protecting your organization’s web applications and ensuring secure internet browsing for your users. These robust technologies work hand in hand to fortify your online presence against a multitude of web-based threats.

Web Application Firewalls

Web Application Firewalls are specialized security solutions designed to shield web applications from various cyber threats. By sitting between your web application and its users, it acts as a filter, inspecting incoming HTTP requests and responses. It identifies and blocks malicious traffic, including SQL injection attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS) attempts, and other application-layer attacks.

Secure Web Gateways (SWG)

Secure Web Gateways (SWG) provide a full defense against web-borne threats for your entire organization. Acting as a gateway between your users and the internet, SWGs monitor and control web traffic, filtering out malicious content, enforcing security policies, and ensuring compliance with web usage policies. SWGs offer web content filtering, URL categorization, malware detection, and data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities, securing your organization from web-based threats.
