With remote access and digital transformation currently redefining enterprise operations, the need for robust cybersecurity solutions has never been more critical. Application servers, which power business-critical processes and remote sessions, are increasingly targeted by sophisticated cyber threats. While traditional firewalls and antivirus software offer a layer of protection, they are often insufficient to meet the demands of today’s hybrid work environments.
This is where a secure web gateway becomes indispensable—particularly when tailored to the specific needs of application servers. In this article, we explore the concept of secure web gateways and highlight how TSplus Advanced Security offers a uniquely effective approach to securing remote access environments.
What Is a Secure Web Gateway?
A secure web gateway (SWG) is a cybersecurity solution that sits between users and the internet, monitoring and filtering web traffic in real-time to prevent unauthorized access, data leaks, and malware infections. Traditional SWGs are designed to enforce internet usage policies, detect and block malicious web content, and secure user sessions across browsers and cloud applications.
Core functionalities typically include:
- URL filtering
- Malware detection and sandboxing
- Data loss prevention (DLP)
- SSL/TLS traffic inspection
- Application control
While these features are essential, they are often generalized and not designed specifically for the threats facing Windows-based application servers. This is where TSplus Advanced Security excels.
