Protect users and filter threats with Secure Web Gateway (SWG)
Our SWG solutions act as an intelligent, ever-adapting barrier between your users and the internet, blocking threats and enforcing policies, to protect team productivity and profitability.

Our point of view
“The web browser is now a primary attack vector for hackers but SWG stops those attacks by providing nuanced control over what users can access, and what’s accessing them.
But SWG isn’t just about filtering content, it’s about visibility, behavioural controls, and preventing silent threats by putting real-time security at the user edge to reduce response times, and applying intelligent policies that adapt to changing threats.”

The real FAQs for SWG
The basics of web filtering aside, web usage becomes a threat vector in its own right? In this section, we tackle the nuanced, real-world challenges our customers have faced when implementing SWG in complex and remote environments.
Do I need SWG if I already use antivirus or endpoint protection?
Yes. SWG complements endpoint protection by acting earlier in the threat chain, blocking harmful websites and downloads before they ever reach user devices. This layered defence reduces exposure and stops threats before they become incidents.
Can I set different policies for different users or departments?
Absolutely. You can tailor access rules and filtering policies based on user roles, departments, devices, or time of day, allowing for fine-grained control that aligns with your internal governance needs.
Is this a cloud-based solution?
Yes. Our SWG is delivered through the cloud, so there’s no need for physical appliances. It scales effortlessly and protects users no matter where they connect from.
Does SWG help with compliance and reporting?
Definitely. Our solution logs all activity, blocks policy violations in real time, and supports audit-ready reporting for GDPR, ISO 27001, and other frameworks.
How does SWG stop phishing attacks?
SWG blocks access to known phishing sites and scans web content in real time to detect malicious intent. It also prevents users from being redirected to spoofed login pages or entering credentials into fake forms.
Can SWG handle encrypted HTTPS traffic?
It can decrypt, inspect, and re-encrypt HTTPS traffic to detect hidden threats, while maintaining user privacy and performance.
