This report provides an overview of the web content security market and discusses why organizations should consider shifting from traditional on-premises web gateways/forward proxies to a SaaS model. The report details our findings about how well each vendor fulfills our criteria and where they stand in relation to each other, to help security and risk (S&R) professionals select the right partner for their SaaS-delivered web content security.
