MacAfee Secure Web Gateway – Features & Benefits

McAfee Web Gateway

Features and Benefits:

Get the industry's best protection
Use proactive intent analysis to filter out malicious content from web traffic in real time. By scanning a web page’s active content, emulating and understanding its behavior, and predicting its intent, McAfee Web Gateway proactively protects against zero-day and targeted attacks. Outbound malware detection identifies and isolates existing infections phoning home, and prevents sensitive data from leaving the organization through Web 2.0 sites.

Use layered security to enhance protection
Web Gateway combines local protection from McAfee Gateway Anti-Malware Engine, its powerful, proactive intent analysis, with cloud-based McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (GTI) to provide advanced protection. For both URL categorization and security-focused web reputation, choose between on-premise and cloud lookups, or opt to use a combination of both for optimal protection and performance. Additional protection through McAfee file reputation cloud-based virus lookup capabilities enable Web Gateway to provide greater protection while optimizing security on a single platform.

Extend control with a powerful policy engine
A powerful policy engine enables unmatched flexibility and control in creating and applying policy, supporting the multi-tenancy needs of the largest enterprises and service providers. Web Gateway also extends this flexible control to web applications. Beyond simply allowing or denying access, Web Gateway provides detailed control over how web applications are used, including popular instant-messaging applications.

Block data loss
Keep confidential information from leaking out of your organization by scanning user-generated content on all key web protocols. Have advanced data loss needs? Rely on Web Gateway to integrate with McAfee Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions.

Protect encrypted traffic
Close the new backdoor through your security barrier with fully integrated malware detection, SSL inspection, and certificate validation directly on the Web Gateway appliance.

Leverage powerful reporting tools and customizable dashboards
Identify your organization’s usage trends, isolate problems, document inappropriate web activity, and comply with regulations with powerful reporting capabilities and integration with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform.
