Organizations can do more over the web today than ever before. Today’s web offers a dynamic, real-time user experience. However, the web has also become a more dangerous place, with increasingly sophisticated attacks released every day. McAfee® Web Gateway is a critical defense for any organization to protect against emerging malware threats. It empowers organizations with secure internet access while greatly reducing risk through an advanced security approach that combines powerful, local intent analysis with cloud-based protection powered by McAfee Labs.

As internet use and sophistication increases, so does the need for advanced web security. Even seemingly “safe” sites can be targeted for malware distribution. In today’s world, simply blocking known viruses or restricting access to known bad websites is not enough. Reactive techniques, such as signature-based antivirus and category-only URL filtering—while necessary—are insufficient to protect access to cloud applications or combat today’s exploits.
Since these solutions focus on known content and malicious objects or executables, they can’t prevent today’s attacks that hide malicious code within seemingly trustworthy HTTP or HTTPS traffic or provide protection against unknown or emerging threats. The ability to enable secure, granular access to cloud applications while proactively blocking unknown as well as known threats is crucial.

Comprehensive Inbound and Outbound Protection
McAfee Web Gateway delivers comprehensive security for all aspects of web traffic in one high-performance appliance software architecture. For user-initiated web requests, McAfee Web Gateway first enforces an organization’s internet use policy. For all allowed traffic, it then uses local and global techniques to analyze the nature and intent of all content and active code entering the network via the requested web pages, providing immediate protection against malware and other hidden threats. And, unlike basic packet inspection techniques, McAfee Web Gateway can examine secure sockets layer (SSL) traffic to provide in-depth protection against malicious code or control applications that have been hidden through encryption. Inbound protection also mitigates risks for organizations hosting websites that accept data or document uploads from external sources. In reverse-proxy mode, McAfee Web Gateway scans all content before it is uploaded, securing both the server and the content.
To secure outbound traffic, McAfee Web Gateway uses industry-leading McAfee Data Loss Prevention technology to scan user-generated content on all key web protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. It also protects against loss of confidential, sensitive, or regulated information leaking from the organization through social networking sites, blogs, wikis, or online productivity tools such as web-based mail, organizers, and calendars. McAfee Web Gateway further safeguards against unauthorized data leaving the organization through bot-infected machines attempting to phone home or transmit sensitive data.
