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.
