About Working with Secure Web Gateway
Secure Web Gateway ensures web security for your organization. It provides protection against all kinds of threats that arise when users of your organization who work with cloud services access the web.
For example, when a user attempts to download a file from the web, this file is scanned after having been received from the web server. If the result of the scanning is that the file is malware-infected, the download is blocked. The file is not passed on to the user then.
For more background information about how Secure Web Gateway ensures web security, see Secure Web Gateway Concepts.
Setup and Web Policy
After setting up Secure Web Gateway, you can modify its default behavior and configure a web policy that meets your own requirements. More information about these tasks is provided on this portal as follows.
-
Setup — For information about how to complete the setup, see About Setting Up Secure Web Gateway.
- Web policy — When configuring your web policy, you work with the web policy part of the user interface for Secure Web Gateway.
There is an old and a new view of this part of the user interface. The new view provides you with a wider range of functions, including the Rule Builder, which allows you to create rules of your own in addition to configuring the default rules.-
Old view — For more information about how to work with the old view, see About Configuring a Web Policy in the Old View.

On-prem Protection
To provide protection against web threats in an environment where users work on-prem, Secure Web Gateway is also offered as an on-prem product, see the information provided in the Skyhigh Secure Web Gateway (On Prem) main section of this portal.
You can move from working with the on-prem product to the cloud product and migrate the web policy that you have configured on-prem to the cloud environment.
