Benefits and Features
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 hybrid security to enhance protection
McAfee Web Gateway combines local protection from its powerful, proactive intent analysis with cloud-based intelligence (powered by McAfee Labs) to provide advanced protection. For both URL categorization and security-focused web reputation, choose between on-premise and cloud look-ups or opt to do a combination of both for optimal protection and performance. Cloud-based virus look-up capabilities, through McAfee Artemis technology, 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. McAfee Web Gateway also extends this flexible control to web applications. Beyond simply allowing or denying access, McAfee Web Gateway provides detailed control over how web applications are used, including popular instant messaging applications.
Features:
- Plug data leaks
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 McAfee Web Gateway to integrate with McAfee DLP solutions. - Protect encrypted traffic

Use this information to tailor filtering settings to best enforce your web usage policies.
Description:
Powered by hybrid security that combines local and cloud-based protection, you can count on automatic malware protection and up-to-the-moment McAfee global reputation intelligence to stop zero-day threats, spyware, and targeted attacks-without a signature-before they can enter your network. Granular control stops the threat, such as an infected iframe, while still enabling access to the rest of the site.
