Cisco Web Security

Comprehensive Web Protection for Every User and Every Location

Cisco Web Security solutions protect your users from malware, phishing, and data loss across web and cloud traffic — whether they’re on-premises, remote, or in branch offices. Cloud-delivered and on-premises options for flexible deployment.

Layered Defense Against Web-Based Threats

Web traffic is the primary attack vector for malware delivery, credential theft, and data exfiltration. Cisco offers a portfolio of web security products — from cloud-delivered DNS and proxy services to on-premises web appliances — that inspect, filter, and control web traffic at every layer. Whether you need to block malicious domains before a connection is made or perform deep content inspection of encrypted traffic, Cisco has you covered.

Core Web Security Capabilities

URL Filtering and Web Categorization

Block access to malicious, inappropriate, or non-compliant websites using continuously updated URL categories powered by Cisco Talos threat intelligence.

SSL/TLS Inspection and Malware Scanning

Decrypt and inspect encrypted web traffic to detect malware, exploits, and command-and-control communications hidden inside HTTPS connections.

Application Visibility and Data Loss Prevention

Identify and control thousands of web applications with granular policies. Enforce DLP rules to prevent sensitive data from leaving your organization via web and cloud channels.
