What is a McAfee Web Gateway?
The McAfee Web Gateway is a Web Security Gateway, preventing unauthorized traffic from infiltrating an organization's network. Manufactured by McAfee, a cybersecurity company, the McAfee Web Gateway offers comprehensive security measures for every aspect of web traffic in a high-performance appliance software architecture.
For user-initiated web requests, the McAfee Web Gateway's first task is to enforce an organization's internet use policy. This includes enforcing rules about accessing specific types of web content, preventing downloading of certain files, and even setting time-based rules for web usage. By serving as a powerful gatekeeper, the McAfee Web Gateway ensures that all web-based interactions align with the security standards set by the organization.
Features include real-time analysis of incoming and outgoing web traffic, advanced threat protection capabilities, data loss prevention, and the ability to encrypt sensitive data.
