Because of the requirement to defend against advanced threats, it is no longer enough for a cloud-based SWG to only offer the traditional SWG services (for example, URL filtering and basic malware detection). Enterprises that connect remote offices (and headquarters offices) directly to the Internet, without backhauling traffic to a centralized data center, will need cloud-based advanced threat services. Vendors that offer cloud-based SWGs, and only offer on-premises appliance-based advanced threat products, need to quickly port their advanced threat offerings to a cloud platform and deliver this functionality as a service. Vendors such as Blue Coat, Intel Security and others fall into this category.
