Join industry experts from F5 and Websense to learn about next generation Secure Web Gateway (SWG) solutions. A number of forces are driving growth in the SWG market as businesses transition more applications to the cloud, scramble to improve defenses against advanced malware and meet compliance requirements. Traditional SWG provides access to these key applications, but only addresses a portion of the overall access most businesses demand. While there are solutions available today to address these challenges businesses have to work with multiple vendors, significantly increasing OpEx and CapEx concerns.
In this webinar our experts will drill into the new challenges businesses should expect and how to position themselves for success. Specifically:
How to plan for future SWG needs while managing current challenges; How to evaluate potential SWG solutions; How to best manage a multiple vendor solution approach.
Background
The proliferations of Internet-based applications and their usage on mobile endpoint devices has grown substantially over the years. Today's enterprise business leaders require IT teams to be more innovative in creating business-enabling security solutions. This means IT teams are no longer just responsible for the availability of the networks and servers, but also for securely enabling their business and having a positive impact on revenues. For example, IT teams need to deploy security solutions that enable Internet-based collaboration and communications tools (including applications such as Skype, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Joinme.com) while retaining even deeper control and visibility over what's going on across their networks.
Enterprise customers are also looking for new ways to optimize their employees' productivity and to ensure that their network resources are used for revenue-related business activities. Network bandwidth, storage networks, and application server computing powers are precious resources. A high-performance secure web gateway (SWG) can help ensure these resources are effectively utilized.
