- Blocks attacks before they reach their targets
It makes practical and financial sense to block web-based threats at gateway level if possible, dramatically reducing the business disruption created when these threats penetrate through to your endpoints, where they can launch attacks which will cost time and money to remediate. And in those cases where the implementation of endpoint protection is impracticable or not recommended, optimized gateway security is of course critical. - Reduces the risk from human factors
Attackers adept at social engineering make it their business to predict what's likely to attract and distract your workforce, using this vulnerability to infiltrate your systems through tempting click-throughs, attachments, and invitations. Web gateway security can't be sidestepped by social engineering, as can be possible with endpoint-based protection. So your data, your assets and your employees remain safeguarded. - Provides the Internet in the shape your business needs
Granular web control enables you to choose which users can access which Internet resources and when, in line with the specifics of your business operations, your in-house policies or in accordance with regulatory requirements. Specific file types or website categories can be blocked, and access to specified web resources can be restricted to non-working hours, lunch-breaks etc. If required, a Default Deny scenario can be implemented, restricting the use of any web resources not absolutely necessary for a particular user's or group's work - taking risk reduction through internet access control to a new level. - Reduces maintenance hassle
Any endpoint security incident, however minor, generates work for the IT administrator, and mass attacks at endpoint level can bring a hard-pressed IT department to its knees, as it works against the clock to check the incoming volley of alerts. Gateway security alerts are generally single-source, making them faster and more straightforward to deal with - so it makes sense to deal with threat alerts generated at gateway level if possible.
