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 a cloud-based architecture and Netskope’s global private infrastructure, Netskope NewEdge 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 and compliance policy enforcement 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 – the solution enables full inspection of encrypted traffic without compromising performance or impacting the user experience
Performance and global reach – a 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 file to/from Dropbox”).
Greater user security regardless of location – thanks to its cloud architecture and integration with a lightweight client that redirects traffic to the global NewEdge network, protection works both in the office and in a remote work model
Data protection and regulatory compliance – 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 the need to route traffic through a central data center.
Reduce costs and simplify your IT security architecture – instead of multiple disparate solutions (e.g., separate proxies, DLP, AV), you get a single, integrated tool that simplifies management and reduces TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
