Perimeter 81
has added a Secure Web Gateway component to its Security Services Edge
(SSE) solution. The Secure Web Gateway (SWG) is extending the company's
signature ease of use to Web filtering and ensures that company
employees are safe from malicious websites and unsafe content, no matter
where they are working.
Perimeter 81's Secure Web Gateway will
block access to specific URLs or categories of websites based on the
user or the user's role and other conditions such as the day of the
week. These categories are dynamically updated daily so that no site
flies under the radar. Employee access to "blocked" or "warned" websites
is tracked and logged for monitoring and compliance with auditing
requirements and company policies. Bypass rules can be created for those
programs that do not require SSL inspection and to ensure employee
privacy, for example, when visiting financial or healthcare sites.
"The new Secure Web Gateway functionality is a big step forward for our Cybersecurity Experience (CSX) Platform,
and delivering an enterprise-grade secured corporate network over the
public internet" says Amit Bareket, CEO at Perimeter 81. "With this
release, we are extending the reach of our radically simple
cybersecurity beyond the corporate hybrid cloud, to the infinite number
of touchpoints an employee may encounter on the web. The Secure Web
Gateway will be transparent to users and very easy to administer, like
all the other components of our Security Services Edge solution."
Sagi Gidali, Chief Growth Officer at Perimeter 81, adds: "Our recent State of the Cybersecurity Report revealed
that 71% VPs and CIOs find it more difficult to prevent cyberattacks
due to the complexity of the cybersecurity solutions they use. By
providing an exceptional cybersecurity experience for both users and the
IT team that implements and manages cybersecurity, we can assist
companies to protect both their hybrid networks and their hybrid
employees more effectively. With this release, we have expanded that
protection with our Secure Web Gateway, managed from the same
easy-to-use dashboard."
