ProxySG with ProxyAV enables the highest performing inline threat analysis, including SSL, with a choice of leading anti-malware engines. In addition, data loss prevention integration is securely enabled with S-ICAP or standard ICAP on ProxySG with certified DLP partners.

Unmatched Performance & Reliability

ProxySG innovations in new hardware platforms with multiple cores and the SGOS operating system with multithreading provide 1Gbps throughput for high availability deployments and scale 5X beyond the previous generation. SGOS is a micro kernel built for Web object processing, secure and small in design, it rarely needs attention or patches, and it runs year after year at performance levels beyond the competition. Health checks and monitoring provide administrator awareness, plus Director enables centralized device, license and policy management of ProxySG Web gateways.
