Content Gateway is a web proxy and cache that analyzes HTTP(S) requests in real time.

  • In Forcepoint Web Security deployments, Content Gateway passes traffic to Filtering Service for policy enforcement. The Content Gateway manager—a browser-based management console—runs on the Content Gateway machine, but can be accessed from within the Web Security module of the Security Manager.
  • In Forcepoint DLP Network deployments, the Web Content Gateway module provides DLP policy enforcement for the web channel, including decryption of SSL traffic. This core Forcepoint DLP component permits the use of custom policies, fingerprinting, and more. It is available only as a soft appliance.
