Cloud Secure Web Gateway (SWG)
A secure web gateway is a crucial element in today's digital landscape due to the
escalating complexity and frequency of cyberthreats. Cybercriminals continually
devise new tactics and techniques to breach security defenses, one of which is to
camouflage malicious code in seemingly legitimate websites. As users access these
compromised websites, they inadvertently leak credentials or expose organizations to
harmful code, which can wreak havoc if left unnoticed.
In such a risk-laden environment, the absence of a robust security gateway
significantly amplifies the risk to an organization's digital assets. Such risk
could lead to unauthorized access, data theft and disruption of business operations,
especially with the increasing prevalence of widespread phishing and ransomware
attacks. Without the security barrier provided by SWG, a ransomware attack could
effectively hold an organization hostage, leading to financial and reputational
harm.
The use of encrypted traffic is now commonplace, with HTTPS constituting the majority
of web traffic. An organization is at risk of security threats concealed within
encrypted channels if it lacks a SWG that can effectively decrypt and inspect this
traffic.
However, using multiple point products for SWG, private app access, and CASB only
complicates matters. Siloed products stitched together as one offering results in
feature parity gaps and poor security outcomes, leaving you vulnerable for attacks.
With these solutions, you get inconsistent security for internet and private
apps.
To address these challenges,
Prisma Access
offers a unified product, converging
management, policy, and data for all users and apps across all capabilities
including ZTNA, SWG, NG-CASB, FWaaS, DLP, and more.
Customers can easily migrate from legacy on-premises and cloud-based proxy solutions
to
