Where does Secure Web Gateway (SWG) fit in a CISO program?
Network security tooling — NGFW, WAF, NDR, DDoS protection, ZTNA, secure web gateway, browser isolation — controls north-south and east-west traffic across the estate. Modern programs lean toward identity-based perimeters (ZTNA replacing VPN, BeyondCorp-style device trust) but legacy network controls remain important for compliance and segmentation. Secure Web Gateway (SWG) is one piece of that stack; real-world programs typically run 3–5 of these in parallel, which is why CISO Game models complexity penalties for over-stacking.
