 Web isolation for CloudSoc. Does it have the full functionality of the Symantec Web isolation?

Hi;

For Web isolation that is exclusive to CloudSoc. i.e. CloudSoc Gateway and CloudSoc mirror, does it provide the same protections as Full Symantec web isolation, like anti-phishing protection disallowing users from entering data to pages categorised as unknown. 

Or it lacks this capacity available in the full Symantec web isolation?

Kindly

CloudSOC's main function is information protection, the AV/Web Iso functions are secondary functions of the product and lesser than those of the Full Web Isolation product we offer. I recommend using WSS/CSWG for robust Web Iso.

Thank you Olin.

So just to clarify, let's say that I want Full Symantec Web Isolation and CloudSoc Gateway for a gantlet like O365. In this case does the traffic flow for the request happen as follows:

User device > Cloud SWG ----ICAP----> CloudSoc Gateway ----ICAP----> Cloud SWG > Full Symantec Web Isolation > Origin Content Server

I guess the path would be the same if we wanted to use a feature like sandboxing since the anti-malware capacity in CloudSod performs AV scanning and VBA micros scanning only.
