What is a Blue Coat ProxySG?
A Blue Coat ProxySG is a Security Web Gateway and Proxy Appliance, commercialized by Symantec following their acquisition of Blue Coat in 2016. Operating at the edge of the network, the ProxySG appliance serves as a secure intermediary between end users and the internet. It provides enhanced web security and visibility by scanning inbound and outbound web traffic, filtering out threats, and enforcing corporate and regulatory policy compliance.
