    Hi,

    I would like to know if the Symantec Secure Web Gateway includes typical Web Proxy features such as ones provided by NGINX servers (URL rewriting, header transformation, load balancing, etc.) ?

    Thanks - C

    Hi, Symantec proxy does not have load balancing feature. Below is the feature of Symantec proxy: Control web and cloud usage with fast app performance Establish negative-day threat defenses Implement multi-authentication realm support Gain visibility into encrypted web traffic Scan SSL-encrypted traffic for viruses, worms, and Trojans, and block them at the secure web gateway Prevent spyware from installing or communicating over SSL/TLS Stop rogue applications (such as IM and P2P) that use SSL to subvert enterprise controls and security measures Accelerate approved and safe SSL-encrypted traffic Send a stream of decrypted traffic to third-party logging systems for analysis, archiving and forensics
