Technology - Secure Web Gateway

Online security threats have exploded with the evolution of Web-based applications and services. Thousands of new malware attacks emerge daily. How can you empower your mobile workforce and remain competitive while blocking pervasive Web threats from attacking your business?

The Blue Coat Secure Web Gateway solution provides a layered defense system that includes next-generation URL filtering, central policy management and the WebPulse cloud defense that provides 24/7 security against the latest malware attacks.

Get dynamic, community-based online security

Blue Coat WebPulse cloud service leverages dynamic link analysis (DLA), a proven technology that locates and breaks the links to Web threats — without severing your access to the Web resources critical to your success. WebPulse is the industry’s first full dynamic link analysis implementation that includes:

• Cloud-connected community that leverages a diverse user population 62 million strong to provide protection in numbers
   
• Real-time input from the user community that includes new Web links and content that have not been rated
   
• Immediate assessment that detects malware, phishing and malicious content through multiple analysis techniques, including ratings-based categorization, threat engines, machine analysis and human raters
   
• Cloud-based ratings on new Web content that immediately protects all members of the community from malware and malicious content without the burden of database downloads or other updates

Blue Coat Secure Web Gateway requires all the right pieces.
