A Closer Look at dope.security's Secure Web Gateway

dope's SWG moves security policy enforcement from the cloud to on device, the company said. It has a "fly direct architecture" that ensures security checks happen directly on endpoints and provides privacy, reliability and performance speeds up to four times faster than those associated with traditional SWGs.

Because dope's SWG allows users to fly direct from a device to the internet, it delivers a seamless browsing experience, the company indicated. It also ensures that users are not affected by data center outages and all decryption remains securely on device where no threat actors can see it.

Furthermore, the SWG works to secure any browser and application, dope noted. The gateway also offers single sign-on using corporate Google or Microsoft Office 365 accounts.

Organizations can try dope's SWG for free for 30 days. dope lists its SWG license pricing at $60 per device, with volume pricing available.

MSSPs, MSPs and VARs Can Partner with dope.security

IT and infrastructure services provider Softcat and MSSP Hedgehog Security have announced partnerships with dope. These partnerships highlight the opportunities for MSPs, MSSPs and VARs to "embrace the potential of a new approach to (SWG) technology," dope stated.

dope does not currently offer a formal partner program for MSSPs, MSPs and other technology providers. The company may look to build out a channel partner program in the future.
