Introduction
McAfee®
Web Gateway (Web Gateway) is a web security product that protects your network against
threats arising from the web such as viruses and other malware, inappropriate content, data leaks,
and related issues. It also ensures regulatory compliance and a productive work environment.
Web Gateway runs as an appliance that connects your network to the web, filtering the traffic that
goes out and comes in. Malicious and inappropriate content is blocked, while useful matter is allowed
to pass through.
The filtering process is controlled by web security rules that you can configure in a highly flexible
manner to let them suit the needs of your network.
Main functions of Web Gateway
Filtering web traffic is a complex process. The main functions of Web Gateway contribute to this
process in different ways.
• Intercepting and transmitting web traffic — The proxy functions of a Web Gateway appliance
intercept requests that users of your network send to the web, and depending on the filtering
results, transmit these requests to their destinations. Responses that the destinations send to your
network are also intercepted and filtered.
• Authenticating users — The authentication functions filter the users of your network, applying
different authentication methods to give you control over who is allowed to access the web from
inside your network.
