Your Symantec Proxy appliances are nearing the end of life. Symantec has just introduced the new Web Protection Suite and a new high-performance SWG hardware platform to help you flexibly deploy your web security at a lower cost and move to the cloud at your own pace.
While moving operations and security to the cloud promises numerous efficiencies and cost savings, every organization has unique security requirements and needs to take a planned, measured approach.
"We want a cloud Secure Web Gateway (SWG) for remote workers but may need an on-premises solution for certain use cases. I don’t have resources to manage two network security stacks."
The new Web Protection Suite gives you the full set of on-premises SWG capabilities and Cloud SWG licenses for all users…at no additional cost.
"My company wants to adopt a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) framework, but we are not sure where to begin and need to do it at our own pace.”
Getting your network security to the cloud is a critical first step for SASE adoption and a SWG is the right foundation. The Web Protection Suite gives you just that.
“We still need an on-premises SWG, but there is pressure to move it to the cloud in the next few years. We need a solution that can accommodate both within the same contract if we need to modify.”
Continue to invest in your trusted on-premises SWG with new capabilities and have the peace-of-mind knowing that your decision has protections to “future-proof” your investment and adjust as needed.

3 Key Benefits of Upgrading to Web Protection Suite
Symantec Web Protection Suite provides a complete Secure Web Gateway solution for today’s remote workers.
Cost-effective support for remote workers Employees can be effective from anywhere and work with confidence, supported with on-premises or cloud-based security, or any combination in-between.
A SASE foundationA cloud-delivered SWG is the key component for embracing the SASE framework. It’s the ideal starting point that lets you add a wide array of integrated capabilities when you’re ready.
Future-proofed flexibilityYou can transition from on-premises hardware, to local virtualization, to private cloud or to our public cloud offering (WSS), all with the same license.
What You Get with Web Protection
SWG Subscription (On-Prem Software & Cloud)
Symantec SWG software extends the security capabilities of Edge Proxies to give organizations better web security and enforcement of corporate and regulatory compliance using a common platform, reducing costs and IT resource requirements. Every user is also entitled to Web Security Service (WSS) providing the same proactive web protection capabilities delivered by the market’s leading on-premises Secure Web Gateway, Symantec ProxySG, but delivered as a resilient and high-performing cloud security service.
Intelligence Services - Advanced
IS-Advanced delivers real-time web content protection, security categorization and web application control. The web filtering service automatically filters and categorizes billions of URLs into over 80 predefined categories, including 12 security categories that can be easily managed by IT administrators. SWG users get the most accurate and granular web application policy control engine for web and cloud access protection.
Shadow App Visibility
Get visibility and control over unauthorized cloud app usage with CASB Shadow IT discovery. It is now part of the same enterprise license.
High Risk Isolation
Administrators set policies to isolate websites that may be identified as risky (level 5 and above) or unknown. High Risk Isolation (HRI) then executes the web content remotely and sends only a safe rendering of information to users' browsers. Administrators can set sites as read-only for added protection. HRI is available with cloud deployments and on-premises software.
Deep File Inspection
Multi-layered, deep-file inspection and malware detection using advanced emulation is integrated with Symantec’s SWG solution, whether deployed on-premises or through our cloud service.
Centralized Management & Reporting
Centrally manage your SWG infrastructure to enhance web security, mitigate cloud access risks and reduce operational costs. Users can host logs in the cloud, providing the visibility of all user traffic from any location with longer standard reporting and retention periods. Role-based access is available from any browser. Cloud and VA software are included.
Still Need On-premises Appliances? The New SWG Hardware Platform Delivers
Deployment FlexibilityYou can transition from on-premises hardware (Symantec Appliances) to local virtualization (ESX/KVM) or cloud (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), all with the same license and with universal policy management.
Higher PerformanceSymantec’s new SWG hardware will deliver up to 5 Gbps of throughput with 90% of web traffic scanned being SSL encrypted - up to 4 times the performance of ProxySG appliances, in half the rack space.
Just-In-Time ScalabilityYou can now add capacity as needed, where and when you need it. There is no need to pay for licenses that just stay idle or purchase unused capacity in advance.
Reduced Data Center Cost New SWG hardware gives customers similar performance with 1U of rack space as they would get with 8U in the previous SWG hardware resulting in lower power, cooling and management cost.
