Cisco Web Security Appliance is used to secure users from malicious threats across the internet and applications they access on different cloud platforms. It is a dedicated solution for protecting users from various internet threats and provides a centralized dashboard for visibility and control over accessed apps.
We use the solution for web security. We have Netskope for DLP. We opted for the Cisco solution for its cost-effectiveness. We use all its features effectively to prevent unnecessary expenses. We implemented Cisco Web Security Appliance to address the challenge of ensuring security for remote workers. Employees working from home operate outside the company's network, potentially exposing the organization to various risks as they access the internet directly. Without enforcing company policies, there's a heightened vulnerability to data breaches. We can extend protection to remote users by deploying Cisco Web Security Appliance, even when not connected to the company's network. This ensures that corporate data remains secure regardless of the user's location.

Cisco Web Security Appliance can be used as a proxy for sending all traffic to the internet. In that case, I can apply security policies and provide anti-malware, protection, and attack prevention with this security appliance. Additionally, there is some advanced functionality, such as security orchestration and security incident management appliance integration. You are able to have full protection and incident management. This solution can be deployed in the cloud or on-premise. I am using a virtual infrastructure which is the easiest infrastructure.

We are just using the solution for internal purposes. When we need to browse the internet, our staff will either be allowed or refused access to the internet. All of the internet is accessed via the server.
We primarily use the solution for security and controlled internet access. We just finished deploying one for one of our clients that actually bought both devices. That was just before COVID that we implemented it, so we just finished it now.
