A highly controlled and secure pathway to the internet is something many organizations seek today, yet only a few truly achieve. When such consistent security can be delivered through a simple deployment, without requiring complex network change, the value to organizations is manifold. FatPipe Secure Web Gateway (SWG) provides exactly this capability, enabling enterprises to maintain strong web security while keeping network operations straightforward and scalable. FatPipe Secure Web Gateway (SWG) is the quintessential solution for enterprises with distributed offices and branch locations, organizations supporting remote and roaming users, and environments requiring scalable, centrally enforced web security.

Threat Protection

• Protects users from web-based threats and enforce internet access policies by filtering and monitoring web traffic.
• Protects web traffic across HTTP and HTTPS with encrypted traffic inspection to detect web-borne threats. Web Antivirus helps centralized control over web traffic security.
• Enforces trusted access policies while allowing administrators to dynamically adjust or revoke trust.
• Controls high-risk downloads and excessive usage without impacting productivity.
  Maintains reliable browsing performance through intelligent traffic handling.
• Applies context-aware controls and policies for platforms such as YouTube etc in line with organizational policy.
• Provides comprehensive logging and monitoring to support incident response and compliance.
• Provides visibility and control over DNS traffic to identify suspicious activity and enforce security policies.

URL & Content Filtering

• Policy-based controls block inappropriate websites, risky scripts, and unwanted file types to enforce safe browsing.
• Supports predefined, regularly updated, and custom URL categories for flexible web access management.
• Enables granular filtering with multiple categories per URL for precise policy enforcement.
• Provides guided browsing, alerts, and safe-browsing prompts to reinforce acceptable Internet use.
• Blocks uncategorized or suspicious domains to maintain a proactive security posture.
• Delivers full visibility through detailed browsing logs and actionable reports.

How FatPipe Secure Web Gateways Fit into a Zero Trust Strategy
FatPipe Secure Web Gateway naturally aligns with Zero Trust security principles by ensuring that no web request is automatically trusted based solely on location or network access. Every user, device, and web session is continuously verified against defined security policies before access is allowed. By combining identity-aware access controls, granular web filtering, encrypted traffic inspection, and real-time threat protection, FatPipe SWG helps organizations enforce the “never trust, always verify” approach across all internet-bound traffic.

Are you looking for a solution that can maintain consistent identity-based access and security policies even when network paths or carriers change?

Do you need centralized URL filtering and web security that can protect thousands of mobile and distributed devices from a single control point?

Are you required to demonstrate strong data protection and web access controls to meet compliance mandates such as PCI, HIPAA, GDPR, and internal governance policies?

Are you trying to enforce consistent web security policies across multiple branch offices without deploying separate security infrastructure at every site?

Do you need protection against web-borne threats such as phishing sites, malicious downloads, and hidden malware delivered through encrypted traffic?

Are you seeking better visibility into how the internet is being used across your organization, with actionable logs and reports for security and compliance teams?

Do you want secure internet access for remote and roaming users without compromising performance or operational simplicity?

Do you need a scalable web security platform that can grow with your organization while keeping policy management centralized and easy to administer?

FatPipe Secure Web Gateway addresses all these requirements and more by delivering secure, scalable, and centrally managed web access for modern organizations. Contact FatPipe today to schedule a demo and see how SWG can strengthen your web security posture.

Enterprise networks have traditionally been built using multiple dedicated hardware appliances. These networks typically deploy separate devices at their Data Center, regional offices, and branch offices which may include some or all of the following devices:

Routers, firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS), Unified Threat Managers, WAN optimization devices, load balancers, SSL VPN Concentrators, network monitoring hardware/software etc.

While each of these components serve a specific purpose, the result is often a fragmented and complex infrastructure that increases points of failures, wastage of precious compute and memory resources, operational overhead, higher IT staff costs, and management challenges. Fatpipe Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) addresses this complexity by consolidating multiple networking and security functions into a unified software-driven platform on top of single hardware.

Fatpipe offers highest consolidated network and security functions into unified software

Instead of deploying multiple standalone devices, enterprises can integrate key capabilities with Fatpipe which offers largest consolidated platform for multiple network and security functions such as routing, firewall protection, IDS/IPS, WAN optimization, DNS, DHCP, packet shaper, network monitoring and load balancing into a single Fatpipe SD-WAN edge device. This convergence reduces hardware spread at enterprise locations and simplifies deployment, operations, and maintenance.

Fatpipe Total Security 360 incorporated into same unified software platform

Fatpipe unified SD-WAN platforms also embed a comprehensive set of security services directly into the network fabric. Capabilities such as Unified Threat Management (UTM), SSL VPN & ZTNA for secure remote connectivity, DLP, Sandbox, Anti-Virus, Anti Malware, web filtering, antivirus, antispam, and DNS security can all operate from the same platform.

Fatpipe Advantages of large unified SDWAN platform

• Higher Network Uptimes: reduces point of failures.  Each point hardware in traditional network is probable point of failure
• Consistent Security Policies – By integrating these functions into the WAN edge, organizations can enforce consistent security policies across all locations while reducing dependence on multiple independent security appliances.
• Intelligent Traffic Management and seamless failover across multiple WAN links. Enterprises today use a mix of connectivity options such as MPLS, broadband internet, fiber, LTE, and 5G.
• Zero Touch Provisioning: Equally important is the orchestrator, which functions as the operational brain of the entire network. It has the capability of zero touch provisioning, and it manages configuration for hundreds or even thousands of distributed sites through a single centralized interface.
• Reduction of Network Management System Costs:  The FatPipe Orchestrator and FatPipe Enterprise View act as a full-fledged Network Management System (NMS). It provides comprehensive capabilities for Fault, Performance, Configuration, and Accounting (FPCA) management. Administrators can monitor network health, analyze traffic behaviour, and collect detailed logs.
• Simplified Operations: FatPipe provides a simple-to-manage GUI and an insightful dashboard for monitoring the complete network effortlessly.
• Reduce Total Cost of Operations:  Customers need not buy multiple hardware, and they do not have to manage multiple vendors AMCs, thereby lowering costs substantially

FatPipe SD-WAN therefore represents a fundamental shift from hardware-centric networking to a unified, software-defined architecture that simplifies operations, strengthens security, and delivers the agility required for modern digital enterprises.
