Excellent timing – I'm in the same boat Chris – I'd love to hear if, and what, Higher Edu's are using for web gateway 
and their impact on your security posture.

Subject: [SECURITY] Secure Web Gateway

Hi All,

I was wondering what secure web gateway solutions universities are using to help mitigate/block web sites that contain 
malware?

What solution do you use and what has been your experience?  Has this substantially reduced the amount of computers 
infected with malware associated with web browsing?

Thanks,
Chris
