Enforce deeper control with a
Secure Web Gateway

Gain more control, transparency, and protection easily. The Cisco Secure Web Gateway (SWG) functionality provides cloud native, full proxy capabilities to improve performance and reduce risk by efficiently logging, inspecting, and controlling web traffic. Find out why security doesn’t have to be complicated.

Get simple, streamlined cloud security with SWG

Cisco’s SWG is a full proxy that logs and inspects your organization’s web traffic to deliver full visibility, URL and application-level controls, and advanced threat protection.

SWG is essential to a Security Service Edge (SSE) architecture that also includes firewall as a service (FWaaS), cloud access security broker (CASB), and DNS-layer security. With the addition of a Cisco software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN), an SSE solution can be extended to a full Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture that delivers best-in-class secure connectivity for modern hybrid workplaces and remote workers.

An innovative new approach to IPSec tunnels

A patent-pending process that leverages Anycast technology is used to simplify deployment and eliminate management tasks for IPSec tunnels.

  • Choose the data center to handle requests
  • No need to build backup IPSec tunnels
  • If a data center fails, the IPSec tunnel automatically moves with minimal downtime

Additionally, you can deploy using Cisco AnyConnect, PAC files, or proxy chaining.
