dope.security DOPE SWG

DOPE SWG (Secure Web Gateway) is an on-device proxy-based web filtering solution that moves SSL inspection and traffic analysis from cloud-based stopover data centers to the endpoint itself.

Unlike traditional SWGs that route traffic through intermediate data centers, DOPE SWG installs a local SSL proxy on the user's device to inspect all application and internet traffic. This architecture means user data does not leave the device during inspection.

Key operational characteristics:

• Runs locally on Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows devices
• Uses less than 100 MB of RAM
• Claims up to 4x faster performance compared to legacy SWGs
• Supports real-time, instant policy pushes from a centralized cloud console

Core capabilities include URL filtering, SSL inspection, cloud app controls, and Shadow IT discovery. The product also includes Dopamine DLP, an AI-powered endpoint data loss prevention module that uses a private LLM to detect and block sensitive data uploads (PII, PCI, PHI, and IP) without requiring regex rules or manual policy configuration.

Policy management and endpoint health monitoring are handled through a single cloud-based management console, which also provides user analytics and detailed reporting. SSO is supported via one-click login.

The product is SOC II compliant and holds 5 patents. It is available for trial using Google or Microsoft accounts.
