Secure Web Gateway (SWG) policies in Zaperon help organizations control, monitor, and protect web access across users and devices. Using SWG policies, administrators can enforce web access rules based on URL categories, custom domains, and user groups, while maintaining visibility into web activity.
For applications that require bypassing inspection—such as certificate-pinned or vendor-restricted services—Zaperon also provides Global Web Exclusions, which allow trusted domains to bypass Secure Web inspection entirely. Together, SWG policies and Global Web Exclusions ensure strong security controls without breaking critical business applications.
Create a Policy - Create Secure Web Gateway policies to allow or block access to websites using URL categories or custom URLs. Use this to enforce acceptable-use standards and prevent access to malicious or high-risk sites.
Edit a Policy - Modify existing SWG policies to update access rules, category controls, or user scope as security requirements change.
Enable / Disable Policy - Temporarily enable or disable Secure Web policies without deleting them—ideal for testing, troubleshooting, or phased rollouts.
Delete Policy - Permanently remove Secure Web Gateway policies that are no longer required to keep policy management clean and efficient.
Apply Policy to Group - Apply Secure Web policies to specific user groups to enforce role-based or department-specific web access controls.
Add Global Web Exclusions - Configure Global Web Exclusions to bypass Secure Web inspection for trusted domains or certificate-pinned applications that may not function correctly with SSL/TLS inspection.
Delete Global Web Exclusions - Remove previously configured Global Web Exclusions to re-enable inspection, visibility, and policy enforcement for excluded domains.
