Secure Web Gateways (SWGs) are now about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. Who knew web security could be so full of holes?
Key Points:
- SWGs in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SASE and SSE can be bypassed using “last mile reassembly”.
- SquareX founder Vivek Ramachandran identified over 25 bypass methods that exploit SWG vulnerabilities.
- SWGs are outdated and struggle with modern web browser complexities.
- Ramachandran suggests endpoint protection as a more effective security measure.
- SquareX is releasing a free tool for testing SWG vulnerabilities.
