Secure Web Gateway (SWG) Solution

Set URL filters and application controls by category, by recommended defaults, or go even more granular with specific websites and domains.

Every security policy configuration is unique, and we'll help you deploy the perfect blend. Start with policy for your critical routes, and introduce additional rulesets whenever you add new connections and users.

We collaborate with you to design a bespoke platform solution, tailored to meet your immediate challenges while providing the flexibility to scale and adapt as new technologies emerge.

As part of your managed service, Cloud Gateway become the custodians of your security policy, but you have full control over the rules you want to set for your organisation.

New SWG rules or amendments to policy can be deployed within minutes through the Cloud Gateway portal.

We offer a range of advanced security services to safeguard users, devices and data running across your network.

Implement security functions like FWaaS and WAF, protecting all your traffic as part of a comprehensive network security posture.

This ensures end-to-end protection, safeguarding your network from evolving threats while maintaining seamless, uninterrupted access for authorised users. With Cloud Gateway, you can be confident that your network is secure, resilient, and aligned with best practices in the industry.

The Cloud Gateway portal shows your entire connected ecosystem, via a simple, intuitive dashboard. It's packed full of data, allowing you to keep track of security events, network performance, utilisation and traffic flows in real-time, as well as raise support tickets to our team.

Cloud Gateway's SWG solutions can be deployed rapidly thanks to our cloud-native architecture and managed service approach. Unlike traditional vendors with long lead times and complex procurement cycles, we can have your SWG security operational within days, not months. Our streamlined onboarding process is designed specifically for UK public sector and healthcare procurement requirements.

Yes, Cloud Gateway's SWG platform integrates seamlessly with existing security infrastructure including SIEM systems, SOC tools, and other security platforms through APIs and standard log formats. This ensures your secure web gateway services complement rather than complicate your current security stack, providing unified visibility across all security tools.

Our SWG solutions are built to meet UK public sector requirements including NHS Digital standards, PSN compliance, HSCN accreditation, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, Cyber Essentials Plus, PCI DSS, and GDPR. Our UK-based infrastructure ensures data sovereignty and simplifies audit processes for public sector and healthcare organisations.

Cloud Gateway offers flexible, OPEX-centric pricing with modular services and short contract terms. Unlike traditional telcos with rigid multi-year commitments, our pricing scales with your actual usage and requirements. This makes budgeting predictable and allows you to adjust security spend based on organisational changes without penalty clauses.

Secure Web Gateways are important because they help to protect organisations from one of the industry's biggest cyber security threats, human error.

Cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated and can be concealed inside websites that may appear legitimate to the naked eye. When a user accesses a compromised website online, they may inadvertently divulge sensitive information or become exposed to malicious code - introducing risk to the wider organisation.

SWGs can inspect traffic, and be configured to block known malicious websites, helping to reduce the likelihood of a user causing a data breach or other security attack as a result of their online browsing.

Secure Web Gateways (SWGs) are essential for securing remote workers as they act as a separation point between globally distributed users and the internet.

With a remote workforce, organisations do not have direct control over devices and networks. By requiring remote workers to access the internet through SWG, companies with a hybrid or remote workforce can better prevent data breaches from a distance.

Both Secure Web Gateway and Web Application Firewalls enforce specific security policies, helping organisations protect themselves from cyber threats and data breaches, whilst complying with regulatory requirements.

However, their purposes are quite different. A Secure Web Gateway (SWG) is designed to eliminate unwanted software and internet traffic to ensure adherence to corporate and regulatory policies. A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is dedicated to safeguarding web applications from attacks through the filtration and monitoring of HTTP traffic.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) primarily ensures secure inbound access and connectivity through encrypted tunnelling, while an SWG enables outbound internet access with comprehensive security inspection and filtering features.

Businesses are increasingly opting for cloud-based Secure Web Gateways (SWG) to enhance threat protection for an ever-expanding network estate. This cloud model eliminates the need for costly MPLS circuits which historically would backhaul traffic to a data centre for security policy to be applied.

By choosing a pure cloud-based SWG or a hybrid approach, companies can benefit from improved flexibility, simplified management, and enhanced performance.
