Malware Protection
Malware Protection in the context of Secure Web Gateways (SWGs) refers to the capability of the software to detect, block, and prevent malicious software from infiltrating an organization’s network through web traffic. This feature actively scans incoming and outgoing web content, including websites, downloads, and email attachments, to identify malware such as viruses, trojans, ransomware, spyware, and worms. Utilizing real-time threat intelligence, signature-based detection, and behavioral analysis, malware protection ensures that users are safeguarded against known and emerging threats. By preventing malware infections at the gateway level, this feature helps maintain network integrity, protect sensitive data, and minimize security risks.
