SafeSquid

Zero Trust web security that actually inspects.

Every request. Every session. Continuously. Deep HTTPS inspection with no speed tradeoff โ€” so nothing ever needs bypassing.

Modern attacks hide inside trusted web sessions.

Business and risk now travel the same encrypted channels, and risk looks exactly like normal work. It enters through four doors your gateway already holds open.

Sanctioned traffic

Malware doesn't knock on the front door anymore. It arrives inside the cloud apps your policy already approves โ€” malicious activity that looks exactly like legitimate business traffic.

  • Payloads hide inside Google Drive, Dropbox, and the SaaS APIs your gateway waves through.
  • Attackers steal tokens, abuse OAuth grants, and hijack live sessions โ€” adversary-in-the-middle attacks indistinguishable from a normal login.
  • Everything is encrypted, so most gateways simply stop looking.

Malware arrives inside the cloud apps your policy already approves โ€” the gateway only checks the address.

Trusted destinations

A good reputation is easy to borrow. Attackers operate from the platforms and domains you already allow.

  • Trusted clouds and CDNs double as malware hosting and command infrastructure.
  • Freshly registered domains and lookalike sites slip past every blocklist, by design.
  • Covert DNS channels quietly carry data out under the radar.

One request line. One trusted host. Two replies โ€” both stamped ALLOW.

The browser

The browser is the new enterprise attack surface โ€” where work happens now, and where attacks land first, after your gateway has already said yes.

  • JavaScript, WebAssembly, and DOM execution run past the reach of perimeter controls.
  • Extensions and permissions widen the blast radius of one bad page.
  • Uploads, downloads, and forms move data both ways, unsupervised.

The gateway said yes at the door. Everything after that happens inside the browser.

Compromised user

Once someone is in, the perimeter never asks again. Trust granted at login lasts all day, even in the wrong hands.

  • A hijacked account keeps every privilege the real user had.
  • Sensitive files leave through channels the policy explicitly allows.
  • Nothing re-checks the session until the damage is done.

Trust was granted once at login โ€” and never questioned again, even in the wrong hands.

Then generative AI poured fuel on all four doors.

AI accelerates productivity. It also accelerates risk โ€” through the same sessions your perimeter already approves.

copilot is sanctioned. the rest aren't.

Your answer to all of this was supposed to be Zero Trust. Was it?

What you bought as โ€œZeroย Trustโ€ is not Zero Trust.

The industry sells a three-step model: check identity, approve the destination, then trust the session. That is a login screen โ€” not a continuous posture.

the model they sold

false
01void

Identity

Verify once, at login.

Nothing re-checks the session after.

02void

Destination

Approve by reputation.

The address is judged. Never the content.

03void

Session

Trust indefinitely.

Trust at 9 am is an open door at 5 pm.

as defined

Never trust. Always verify. Continuously โ€” every request, every payload, every time.

Where traditional SWGs fail.

A legacy gateway checks the destination and the headers, then waves the session through โ€” every threat rides that same trusted channel, unchecked, through all four gaps at once.

Doing Zero Trust right isn't a policy change.

It requires an architecture built for it.

SafeSquid: Zero Trust, actually implemented.

Every request verified. Every session. Continuously.

A Secure Web Gateway designed from first principles for Zero Trust, not retro-fitted from a web cache. Every inspection engine shares full session context inside one tightly coupled architecture, in real time, without trading away speed.

Three architectural innovations make this possible.

Depth, speed, and isolation โ€” engineered into one tightly coupled core, not bolted on as afterthoughts.

Multi-threaded core

Full inspection, zero speed penalty.

Legacy gateways copy data between processes and wait. SafeSquid threads share one memory โ€” deep inspection never trades off against speed.

Parallel processors

A neural network for traffic.

Every engine runs on the same data at once, over shared memory instead of isolated checks. Identity, content, behaviour, and policy fuse into one coordinated decision per transaction.

Remote Browser Isolation

The browser runs at your perimeter.

Only a sanitized pixel stream and scanned downloads reach the endpoint. Included free โ€” competitors charge ~$55/user/month.

Remote Browser Isolation creates a permanent digital air gap โ€” only a sanitized pixel stream and scanned downloads reach the endpoint. Included free. Competitors charge ~$55/user/month.

Active content terminates in containment. Only rendered pixels and sanitized files cross the Air Gap.

Lightweight

Minimal resource footprint on standard infrastructure โ€” no dedicated hardware.

Scalable

SMP-aware architecture scales from small teams to enterprise-wide deployments.

Fully customizable

Open architecture for tailored isolation policies that match your security posture.

Access & privilege management

Seamless authentication and granular privilege controls for isolated sessions.

VDI integration

Optional virtual desktop infrastructure for complete endpoint isolation.

Enterprise control

Full administrative ownership of policies and configurations โ€” under your team.

  • Explicitly approved downloads โ€” scanned first

what never crosses the gap

  • No JavaScript, DOM, or plugins
  • No zero-day browser exploits
  • No drive-by downloads or redirects

Users browse normally โ€” no VPN, no agent, no workflow change. Feels like a standard session.
