## About Secure Web Access - SWA
COSGrid Secure Web Access (SWA) is a multi-layered Secure Web Gateway (SWG) solution that protects users from web-based threats across DNS, endpoint, and cloud layers — without compromising performance. It combines DNS-layer security, endpoint agent-based filtering, and cloud content inspection into a single unified platform. SWA enforces URL filtering, SSL/TLS inspection, application control, and real-time threat defense for all users — whether on-premises, remote, or hybrid. A lightweight Goproxy-based agent on endpoint devices enables granular policy enforcement, offline protection, and full HTTPS inspection even when users are off-network. As part of COSGrid's Z3 SASE platform, SWA integrates seamlessly with Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), DNS Security, and ZT-NAC to deliver consistent, identity-aware web security across the entire organization. Intelligent traffic routing ensures only suspicious content is sent for deep cloud inspection, keeping performance high while maintaining a 99.9% threat detection rate. Key capabilities include: DNS-layer threat blocking with zero latency impact Endpoint agent protection across all major platforms (Windows, macOS) Cloud-based sandboxing and zero-day threat detection Unified policy management and reporting from a single console Zero Trust-ready with continuous verification and device trust scoring
