The Secure Internet Access (SWG) solution keeps users safe from cyberthreats and unauthorized traffic from entering and spreading through their internal networks. As a cloud-based solution, Secure Internet Access monitors user web traffic and enforces policies that define conditions for access to specific websites or types of sites. It plays an important role in protecting employee and user work environments from infections coming from malicious web traffic, sites with vulnerabilities, Internet-borne viruses, malware, and other cyberthreats.

Secure Internet Access also ensures implementation of and compliance with an organization’s standards to protect confidential information from exposure.

URL filtering, cloud anti-malware, ability to decrypt and inspect websites accessed via HTTPS, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and Secure Cloud Access (CASB) are standard Secure Internet Access functions, all of which are available as part of Lookout Cloud Security Platform.

Secure Internet Access addresses these common use cases:

• Monitor and control access to websites. Protect users from accessing applications, websites, and web content that does not comply with the organization’s acceptable use policies.
• Monitor and control access to risky applications. Control usage and user activities based on analytics and insights. Gain visibility into sanctioned and unsanctioned applications and their risk levels.
• Detect and defend against threats. Protect users and devices from threats posed by access to malicious websites, or access to compromised websites that have unintended malicious content on both encrypted and clear-text web traffic.
• Provide data protection and application security. Prevent corporate data loss from insider threats, unintentional data sharing, or data exfiltration from accessing phishing or malicious websites.
