Securing Customers In The SWG

There are a lot of options in the secure Web gateway (SWG) market, but some are better than others. Protecting customers against Internet threats, the solutions typically go head to head with firewall, IPO and UTM solutions, a competitive landscape that market research firm Gartner expects will grow more aggressive as vendors start to integrate SWGs with those solutions and take the necessary steps to dive into cloud-based SWG services. This year's Magic Quadrant, which ranks the vendors based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute on that vision, had three Leaders (high in both categories), two Challengers (high in execution but low in vision) and eight Niche Players (low in both categories). Take a look at how the vendors stacked up.
