Comprehensive web security for your network<br />

The <strong>McAfee</strong> ®<br />

<strong>Web</strong> <strong>Gateway</strong> appliance ensures comprehensive web security for your network. It protects<br />

your network against threats arising from the web, such as viruses and other malware, inappropriate<br />

content, data leaks, and related issues. It also ensures regulatory compliance and a productive work<br />

environment.<br />

The appliance is installed as a gateway that connects your network to the web. Following the<br />

implemented web security rules, it filters the requests that users send to the web from within your<br />

network.<br />

Responses sent back from the web and embedded objects sent with requests or responses are also<br />

filtered. Malicious and inappropriate content is blocked, while useful matter is allowed to pass through.<br />
