Strong, effective protection

Cisco Web Security Appliance provides multiple ways to automatically detect and block web-based threats. Powered by our Talos threat research organization, the Web Security Shield license includes in-depth URL filtering and reputation analysis, multiple antivirus engines, Layer 4 traffic monitoring, Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), and Cognitive Threat Analytics (CTA).

Granular controls

Cisco Web Security Appliance goes deeper than blocking or allowing certain websites. It enables admins to forbid or allow specific functionality within the sites. Admins can also make exceptions for certain users and set time and bandwidth restrictions for web usage. This enables organizations to block concerning behaviors without hindering end-user productivity.

Detailed reporting

With Cisco Web Security Appliance, security teams can easily see who is accessing certain websites and at which times. Detailed reporting options enable admins to display data through:

Cisco Web Security Appliance

Cisco Security Management Appliance for centralized management

Cisco Advanced Web Security Reporting for customized reports and hybrid reporting with Cisco Umbrella

Flexible deployment options

Various deployment options are available to allow Cisco Web Security Appliance to scale and evolve as your organizational needs grow. Deploy it as a hardware appliance, virtual machine, or in the public cloud using Amazon Web Services. Protect what's now and what's next with Cisco.

Integrated security architecture

Cisco's integrated security portfolio allows you to use Cisco Web Security Appliance with other technologies for more comprehensive protection. Integration into SecureX provides enhanced visibility and automation across the entire Cisco Security product suite, providing the protections that ensure your business functions securely.
