dope.security

dope.security is a cybersecurity company that provides a Secure Web Gateway (SWG) solution built on a distinctive "Fly-Direct Architecture." Unlike traditional SWG products that backhaul traffic through remote data centers, dope.security processes web security directly on the user's device via an on-device SSL proxy. This architecture performs URL filtering, cloud app controls, and SSL inspection locally on the endpoint, eliminating dependency on centralized data center infrastructure. The company's primary product, dope.swg, is designed for enterprises of varying sizes and targets organizations looking to replace legacy SSE (Security Service Edge) and SWG tools. The agent is deployed on endpoints and supports integration with device management platforms such as Microsoft Intune. Policy updates are applied in real time at individual and group levels without the polling delays common in legacy systems. dope.security also offers CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) capabilities and an AI-powered Data Loss Prevention product called DopamineDLP, which is positioned as a replacement for legacy DLP solutions. The company emphasizes ease of deployment, with minimal configuration required post-installation. SSL error notifications are built into the console, enabling administrators to identify and bypass SSL inspection issues without manual investigation. Support is provided by product engineers rather than tiered support agents. dope.security was founded by Kunal Agarwal and has received funding from Google Ventures (GV), among other investors with backgrounds at Symantec, Forcepoint, Websense, and Blue Coat. The company is headquartered in New York.
