What Does Secure Web Gateway Protect Against?
Secure Web Gateway protects users against phishing, malware and other Internet-borne threats. Unlike traditional firewalls, Secure Web Gateways are focused on layer 7 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 who often provide a very similar level of security capabilities.
A Cloud-Based Secure Web Gateway Solution
The Helios Cloud™ SASE platform converges Secure Web Gateway, Next Generation Firewall, and Advanced Threat Protection into a seamless cloud-based security solution.
This convergence enables a consistent security policy enforcement across all enterprise traffic, be it from data centers, branches, or mobile users.
The Helios Cloud platform alleviates the traditional pain points associated with appliance-based security solutions, offering unrestricted scalability, full traffic inspection, and self-maintaining cloud service.
Appliance-based Secure Web Gateway Challenges vs. Converged Network Security in the Cloud
Visibility
As all WAN and Internet traffic goes through the Helios Cloud there are no blind spots and no need to deploy multiple appliances, of different providers, to cover all traffic.
A Secure Web Gateway appliance needs to sit in the data path to be able to process enterprise traffic. An appliance is required at every location that accesses the Internet.
Scalability
SecureTrust can inspect any mix of encrypted and unencrypted traffic with all supported security services. Customers don’t have to go through sizing exercises or forced upgrades. SecureTrust ensures capacity is available to provide customers the subscribed service.
A Secure Web Gateway applies various security engines to the traffic including IPS, anti-malware, URL filtering and more. The ability to run these engines in parallel is subject to the appliance capacity. Smaller appliances, such as UTMs, are especially limited in their scalability, extensibility and inspection capabilities.
Inspection
SecureTrust can inspect all traffic, both encrypted and unencrypted with all supported security services and with no performance degradation. Inspection capacity is handled exclusively by SecureTrust to ensure support for licensed capacity.
A Secure Web Gateway needs to inspect both encrypted (SSL) and unencrypted traffic at line speed. As the share of SSL traffic increases, forced appliance upgrades may become a necessity.
Manageability
Without the need to size, upgrade, patch or refresh appliances, customers are relieved of the on going grunt work of keeping their network security up to date against emerging threats and evolving business needs.
A distributed environment requires multiple appliances at each location, each with its own set of rules. Each appliance life cycle has to be managed separately. It has to be bought, deployed, configured, patched, updated and ultimately replaced either due to an End of Life (EOL) or business growth.
