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.

A secure web gateway (SWG) is a cybersecurity solution which 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.
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.
Application servers form the backbone of remote work infrastructures. Indeed, whether delivering virtual desktops, hosting business applications or supporting real-time collaboration, these servers handle high volumes of sensitive data and session traffic.
However, their exposure to the internet also makes them prime targets for:
Traditional SWG products may not provide adequate protection for these threats, especially in RDS or web-based publishing environments. In contrast, TSplus Advanced Security delivers targeted and intelligent protection designed with these exact scenarios in mind.
TSplus Advanced Security functions as a lightweight yet powerful secure web gateway for application servers providing advanced threat detection and control mechanisms which go beyond generic solutions.
Here is how it addresses the core pillars of secure web gateway functionality, thus protecting application servers:
Detects and blocks repeated unauthorized login attempts, reducing the risk of credential stuffing and account compromise. This is essential for exposed RDP and web portal services.
Allows administrators to whitelist or blacklist access based on countries or regions. This reduces exposure to high-risk zones and aligns with regulatory compliance requirements.
Monitors server activity in real-time to detect and stop ransomware before it can encrypt data. Suspicious processes are automatically terminated and affected portions quarantined, while administrators are notified immediately.
Enables fine-tuned control over who can access your servers. Suspicious IPs can be automatically blocked or manually managed via an intuitive dashboard.
Tracks and secures user sessions, preventing session hijacking and reducing the window of vulnerability in case of an unauthorized breach.
Limits server access to known, trusted devices, ensuring that only authorised hardware is used to initiate sessions. This is particularly useful for maintaining endpoint integrity. Devices can additionally be assigned to specific usage times and locked to specific users .
This selection of features is just a snippet and, as you can probably tell, the description of TSplus Advanced Security as “360° protection” is very apt. By implementing our security software as part of your remote access infrastructure, you enjoy the following:
Unlike generic SWG platforms, TSplus Advanced Security is optimized for Windows Server environments, including those running Remote Desktop Services and web-published applications.
TSplus delivers enterprise-level protection without the complexity or high licensing costs of traditional secure web gateway appliances or cloud subscriptions.
With a quick installation process and a user-friendly interface, the software can be deployed and managed without the need for deep cybersecurity expertise.
Whether you are securing a single server or an entire server farm, TSplus Advanced Security scales to meet your needs with minimal resource consumption.
