DNS Security layer
Block malicious domains instantly at DNS resolution. Prevent access to known threats, phishing sites, and unwanted categories with zero latency impact.
COSGrid SecureWebAccess
Stop web threats before they
reach your users — not after.
SecureWebAccess inspects every web request across DNS, endpoint, and cloud layers — blocking malware, phishing, and shadow IT without slowing your team down.
What is COSGrid SecureWebAccess?
COSGrid SecureWebAccess (also known as COSGrid SIG, Secure Internet Gateway) is a multi-layered Secure Web Gateway combining a DNS security layer, Goproxy-based endpoint agent protection, and cloud content inspection with sandboxing for comprehensive web threat protection.
SecureWebAccess Challenges
Endpoint Agent Protection
Lightweight endpoint agent on all platforms provide granular policy enforcement, offline protection, and user-specific filtering with full HTTPS inspection.
Cloud Content Inspection
Deep analysis of unknown content through cloud-based SWG. Advanced threat detection, sandboxing, and zero-day protection for suspicious traffic.
Intelligent Routing
Smart traffic decisions route only suspicious content through intensive cloud inspection, optimizing performance while maintaining security.
Unified Management
Single pane of glass for policy management, threat intelligence sharing, and comprehensive reporting across all protection layers.
Zero Trust Ready
Continuous verification, device trust scoring, and context-aware policies that adapt based on user behavior and risk assessment.
How SecureWebAccess Delivers Secure Access
01
DNS Shield
First line of defence, DNS-based
Blocks malicious domains and phishing attempts before a connection is established, with full DNS query logging for visibility.
02
Local Agent Enforcement
Endpoint-level policy, well-known apps & domains
Applies app allow/block lists and device posture checks at the endpoint, with split tunnelling to route trusted traffic directly and reduce latency.
03
Cloud Security Gateway
Full traffic inspection for remaining & unknown traffic
SSL/TLS decryption, 80+ URL categories, and CASB-driven shadow IT detection secure everything DNS and endpoint checks don’t catch.

Use cases
Built for every access scenario
Always-on protection for distributed teams
DNS filtering, VPN and kill switch work together to deliver continuous security wherever your team connects from — no gaps when users move between networks or step outside the corporate perimeter.
Visibility into the apps IT never approved
App discovery mode surfaces unauthorized SaaS usage across the organization, giving security teams a clear picture of what's actually running on the network — and the ability to act on it.
Continuous monitoring, built-in audit readiness
Posture monitoring runs continuously, with automatic quarantine for non-compliant devices and complete audit logging — giving your compliance team the evidence trail auditors expect without manual tracking.
Minimum security standards for personal devices
Network access control enforces baseline security requirements on personal devices before they can connect — keeping unmanaged endpoints from becoming a backdoor into the network.

COSGrid SecureWebAccess - FAQs
Have a question about SecureWebAccess?
What is Secure Web Access (SWA)?
Secure Web Access (SWA) is COSGrid's cloud-delivered web and internet security service that inspects and controls user traffic to the web and SaaS applications, enforcing policy-based access, threat protection, and content filtering — without backhauling traffic through a physical appliance or central data centre.
How is SWA different from a traditional web proxy or on-prem firewall? On-prem proxies require hardware at every location and push all traffic through a central chokepoint. SWA is delivered as a cloud service, applying consistent policy to every user regardless of where they connect from — eliminating the hardware footprint while extending protection equally to remote employees, branches, and office users.
Is SWA part of SASE, and how does it complement Mesh ZTNA? Yes — SWA is the secure internet/SaaS access pillar of COSGrid's Z3 SASE architecture. MicroZAccess (Mesh ZTNA) handles access to private internal applications; SWA handles access to the web and SaaS. Together they cover both directions of traffic under a single unified policy — not separate tools with separate management.
