Re: Secure Web Gateway

At my previous institution we used a BlueCoat appliance, and it had a significant impact on the number of infected 
machines that we had.  I don't have exact figures, but the drop was in excess of 80%.

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
