Next-Generation Secure Web Gateway (NG SWG)
About the product
A modern network security solution designed to protect users, data, and applications. Unlike traditional proxy solutions, Netskope’s NG-SWG provides granular control over web and application traffic using contextual analysis of users, devices, locations, and behavior. With its cloud-based architecture and Netskope NewEdge global private infrastructure, the solution offers scalability, high performance, and low latency—regardless of user location.
NG-SWG integrates the functionality of a classic proxy solution with advanced threat analysis, content filtering, malware protection, and access policy enforcement and compliance mechanisms.
Advantages of the product
Visibility and control over cloud applications – thanks to the Cloud XD mechanism, Netskope provides deep analysis of traffic in SaaS, IaaS, and web applications, enabling precise enforcement of security policies.
Advanced threat protection – using sandboxing and heuristic analysis, it detects and blocks malware, exploits, ransomware, phishing, and other threats in real time.
Integrated SSL/TLS inspection – this solution enables full inspection of encrypted traffic without compromising performance or impacting the user experience.
Performance and global reach – geographically distributed architecture ensures low latency, high availability, and reliable operation worldwide.
Benefits of Implementation
Full visibility and control over traffic to cloud applications and websites – unlike traditional proxy solutions, Netskope enables granular access management not only to websites, but also to specific functions within applications (e.g., “upload/download a file to/from Dropbox”).
Greater user security regardless of their location – thanks to cloud architecture and integration with a lightweight client designed to redirect traffic to the global NewEdge network, protection works both in the office and in a remote working model.
Data protection and regulatory compliance – the ability to detect and block data leaks (DLP) in Internet communications and cloud applications supports compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001, etc.
Effective protection against malware and phishing – advanced security mechanisms, including sandboxing, threat intelligence, and SSL inspection
Increased performance and reduced latency – Netskope NewEdge's global infrastructure gives users fast and secure access to the Internet and the cloud without having to route traffic through a central data center.
Cost reduction and simplification of IT security architecture – instead of multiple scattered solutions (e.g., separate proxies, DLP, AV), you get a single, integrated tool – which simplifies management and reduces TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
