Compare Check Point URL Filtering vs. MONITORAPP AISWG

Web access is a major vector for cyberattacks targeting businesses. Check Point's URL Filtering feature manages access to millions of websites based on categories, users, groups, and machines, safeguarding users from harmful sites while facilitating secure Internet usage. Utilizing UserCheck technology, it provides real-time education on web usage policies, enhancing user awareness. This protection is further bolstered by cloud-based categorization and UserCheck capabilities, which can be activated on any Check Point security gateway, ultimately lowering the total cost of ownership. It also offers comprehensive security across all web-related activities by seamlessly integrating full application control. Security teams need the ability to identify, secure, and monitor every device connected to the network at all times, ensuring a robust defense. Check Point solutions equip organizations with the capability to block compromised devices from accessing sensitive corporate data and resources, which includes not only employees' mobile devices and workstations but also IoT devices and systems used in industrial control. Consequently, maintaining an organized and secure network environment becomes more achievable.

The AISWG, or Advanced Intelligent Secure Web Gateway, is essential for safeguarding corporate resources since many websites that could jeopardize a secure working environment remain invisible to the naked eye. This secure web gateway effectively blocks dangerous sites, thereby preventing sensitive information from being compromised. As businesses increasingly rely on the internet for operations, they face a higher risk of encountering websites that can threaten both assets and overall productivity. Visiting non-work-related sites not only wastes valuable time but also exposes organizations to the risk of malicious code that could lead to the loss of critical corporate assets. Moreover, inappropriate web uploads can easily result in leaks of sensitive company information. The Secure Web Gateway (SWG) serves as a crucial defense, enabling organizations to manage web usage more effectively, minimizing disruptions to corporate productivity. By closely monitoring internal client access to the web, AISWG plays a significant role in enhancing overall business efficiency while ensuring the protection of vital assets. This proactive approach to web security is increasingly indispensable in today’s digital landscape.
