PALO ALTO, Calif., June 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) today announced its Symantec Cloud Secure Web Gateway (SWG) solution received Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP^®) authorization, further expanding Broadcom's portfolio of FedRAMP authorized solutions for the U.S. sector. Symantec Cloud SWG delivers comprehensive, cloud-hosted security for U.S. federal agencies adopting a Security Service Edge (SSE) architecture.

Gov Cloud – Web Protection uniquely provides cloud-hosted security while also supporting full licensing of Symantec’s network security solutions. Customers can choose to deploy security components on-premises or use the cloud. Gov Cloud – Web Protection includes market-leading Symantec Secure Web Gateway, Reverse Proxy, Deep Content Inspection, Management Center and Cloud Reporting, Intelligence Services for application visibility and control, and Full-Traffic Decryption.
