Web proxy solutions help strengthen user protection when browsing the internet by preventing access to fake web pages along with data entry on them and infection of devices with viruses. They can also block sites that are undesirable in the workplace, such as social networks.

While firewalls typically also provide web content protection, for organizations with many users, a dedicated web proxy solution saves firewall resources and speeds up performance without compromising employees’ online security. A solution can be deployed at an in-house data centre or in the ,,cloud”.
