Securing Web Gateway
Secure Web Gateway (SWG) provides an alternative means of connecting to the internet via a system or a browser’s proxy configuration as opposed to building a VPN tunnel into the Prisma Access infrastructure. This can be a preferred connection method to provide secured internet access where a company is required to use proxies or for a company to transition over to Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) without impacting connectivity in the first phase.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:
- Considerations when using the SWG
- Configuring the explicit proxy
- Proxy Auto Configuration (PAC) file and client configuration
- GlobalProtect in proxy mode
