Transform Your Firewall and Proxy Gateway with SSE

The roles of firewalls and proxy gateways are rapidly evolving with security service edge (SSE) transformations. Traditional firewalls, once focused on perimeter security, are now part of SSE cloud platforms as Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), while VPNs are being replaced by zero trust network access (ZTNA). Web proxy gateways, previously focused on URL filtering, now decode SaaS applications, applying adaptive access based on content and context.

Transform Your Firewall and Proxy Gateway with Security Service Edge (SSE)

Historical and Future Roles for Firewalls and Proxy Gateways

The landscape of network security is under a metamorphosis. Traditionally, firewalls and proxy gateways have been pivotal in safeguarding our networks. Yet, as we transition into a new era characterized by remote work, heightened digital threats, and the rise of security service edge (SSE) solutions, the roles and effectiveness of these defenses are also transforming. This paper provides crucial insights into leveraging this evolution for enhanced security and efficiency.

How is a Next Gen SWG different from a traditional web filter? Can a Next Gen SWG stop advanced ransomware and phishing? How does a Next Gen SWG protect remote employees on the web? Does a Next Gen SWG include data protection for web uploads? How does a Next Gen SWG manage personal web use on work devices?

How is a Next Gen SWG different from a traditional web filter? link link

A traditional web filter only looks at URLs and web objects in HTTP/S transactions. Netskope One Next Gen SWG decodes the actual content and context of SaaS cloud traffic. This allows the gateway to see beyond web categories and web objects into SaaS application traffic for risky behaviors, coaching users in real time, detecting data exfiltration to personal cloud storage with instance awareness, and allowing users to provide justifications for unusual requests so business continuity is enabled.

 

Can a Next Gen SWG stop advanced ransomware and phishing? link link

Yes. Netskope One Next Gen SWG uses multi-layered threat protection including AI/ML models to detect:

  • Unknown phishing attacks in real time
  • Unknown malicious PE files in real time
  • HTML smuggling attacks in real time
  • Behavioral analytics to detect compromise
  • Command and control (C2) beacons
  • Data exfiltrations

It also provides traditional antivirus, firewall, intrusion protection systems (IPS), and sandboxing defenses. Remote browser isolation (RBI) can also be used for risky websites to defang websites of malicious attacks, and enterprise browser can provide a secure browsing environment on devices These layers within Netskope One Next Gen SWG block new and unknown attacks before they can enter the network.

 

How does a Next Gen SWG protect remote employees on the web? link link

Netskope One Next Gen SWG provides a secure tunnel for all web, SaaS, and AI traffic, applying inline security policies regardless of the user location or device. This ensures the platform keeps transactions private and users safe from malicious sites and content even when they are off the corporate network.

 

Does a Next Gen SWG include data protection for web uploads? link link

Yes. Netskope One Next Gen SWG has built-in data loss prevention (DLP) that inspects web, SaaS, and AI traffic for sensitive information in real time. This allows the gateway to block unauthorized uploads to social media or personal cloud storage. Netskope also provides DLP for endpoints, email, and non-web traffic in a firewall as a service.

 

How does a Next Gen SWG manage personal web use on work devices? link link

Netskope One Next Gen SWG can be configured to allow safe personal browsing while strictly enforcing data security rules. For example, the gateway can allow a user to check personal email but block the attachment of company files. Netskope One Remote Browser Isolation can also enable secure access to personal email, social, and collaboration applications, isolated in order to defang threats, but including DLP and threat protection for file activities, and a secure viewer for PDF files.
