Fundamental web security

Analyzing all web traffic, even when it's encrypted, is a baseline security practice. Detecting malware before it is delivered to an endpoint can save the cost of remediation and minimize the chance of data loss in an attack. Sharing web threat information can make other security tools more intelligent. None of this should disrupt the productivity of a large workforce.

McAfee Web Gateway delivers high-performance web security through an on-premises appliance that can be deployed both as dedicated hardware and a virtual machine. McAfee Web Gateway is part of the McAfee Web Protection solution alongside McAfee Web Gateway Cloud Service, available together to provide optimal protection for users everywhere.
