- Endpoint-Based Secure Web Gateway
A Secure Web Gateway that
runs on the endpoint, not in the cloud
Kitecyber runs the web proxy directly on each device. Internet, SaaS, and GenAI traffic is inspected and enforced locally with no cloud gateways to route through and no hairpinning to slow users down. One agent secures every connection, wherever your people work.
- No hairpinning
- No cloud gateways
- Local data block

- Overview
The work is shifting to the edge, so should your security
Your people reach the internet and hundreds of SaaS and GenAI apps directly — from offices, homes, BYOD laptops, and public Wi-Fi. The old model of hauling all of that traffic back to a central gateway no longer fits how work happens. Security has to live where the traffic actually originates: the endpoint.
- The Challenge
Why cloud and appliance SWGs hold you back
Legacy Secure Web Gateways whether on-prem appliances or cloud points of presence were built for a network-centric world. Forcing modern, distributed traffic through them creates real friction:
Hairpinning & latency
Every request detours to a gateway or PoP before reaching its destination, adding round-trips that users feel on every page load and video call.
Cost & complexity
Appliances and cloud gateways are expensive to license, scale, and operate — and they demand skilled services and weeks of network changes to deploy.
Decrypt-and-re-encrypt blind spots
Inspecting encrypted traffic in the cloud means decrypting it off-device, hurting performance and raising privacy concerns — while split-tunnel users slip past entirely.
Gaps off the corporate network
Remote and BYOD users who bypass the tunnel browse unprotected, and insecure Wi-Fi goes unnoticed until something goes wrong.
Reputation-based detection lags
Static URL lists and domain reputation miss fast-spawning phishing pages, AI-generated lures, and malicious SaaS add-ons until it’s too late.
No answer for SaaS & GenAI sprawl
Magic links, OTP logins, marketplace add-ons, and browser extensions bypass SSO and device controls, leaving shadow SaaS and GenAI usage unmanaged.
Today: every device’s traffic is backhauled to a shared cloud proxy before reaching its destination — adding latency, choking bandwidth, and sometimes routing data through another country.
- The Kitecyber Approach
One local proxy for internet, SaaS & GenAI
Kitecyber places the Secure Web Gateway on the device itself. SSL inspection, URL filtering, threat prevention, and SaaS controls all run locally — so traffic goes straight to its destination, fully inspected, with nothing to backhaul. It unifies what used to take separate Secure Internet Access and Secure SaaS Access products into a single endpoint agent.
No hairpinning, no PoPs
Enforcement happens at the source. Connections are direct and fast, with no gateway in the path and no appliances to maintain.
AI threat prevention in real time
Phishing, malware, ransomware, and malicious links are blocked as they happen — not after a reputation list catches up.
SaaS & GenAI discovery & control
See every sanctioned, unsanctioned, and shadow SaaS and GenAI app, then classify, sanction, or block it at the endpoint.
With Kitecyber: a local proxy on each device inspects traffic on the spot and sends it straight to its destination — no detour, no added latency, no bandwidth choke, and no risk of routing through another country.
- Capabilities
Everything a modern SWG should do — from the endpoint
- DATA PROTECTION
Local sensitive-data block
Stop sensitive data from leaving the device — PII, secrets, source code, and regulated records — right at the endpoint. Kitecyber blocks risky transfers based on content and context, without relying on SSL inspection or decrypting traffic off-device.
- WEB FILTERING
URL & category filtering
Block risky sites, malicious domains, and unsafe downloads by category or URL, with full visibility into exactly what was accessed and why it was allowed or denied.
- THREAT PREVENTION
Real-time threat & ransomware prevention
Stop drive-by compromises, command-and-control callbacks, and credential-phishing the moment they happen — before a user ever clicks.
- SAAS DISCOVERY
SaaS discovery & classification
Build a trustworthy inventory of every SaaS and GenAI app, user, and OAuth connection in minutes, surfacing shadow and unsanctioned apps automatically.
- SAAS CONTROL
SaaS app management
Sanction or unsanction apps by category, URL, or tag, and block access by region — shrinking your SaaS attack surface from one console.
- GEO-FENCING
Geo-fencing
Allow only trusted regions and corporate locations, and deny connections from untrusted or public networks — an extra layer for distributed teams.
- VISIBILITY
Full visibility & risk insights
Track sites visited, time spent, data usage, and IP activity across the organization, with audit-ready trails that support compliance.
- ALLOW RULES
Bypass & allow rules
Keep business-critical domains fast and frictionless with allow rules, and manage exclusions in bulk by importing a CSV.

FAQ's
Frequently asked questions
Secure Internet Access (SIA) is a cybersecurity model that protects users from online threats by securing all web and SaaS access. It uses real-time traffic inspection, threat prevention, and Zero Trust policies to stop phishing, malware, ransomware, and data leaks — whether users are in the office or remote.
Unlike VPNs that backhaul traffic and SWGs that rely on slow reputation checks, SIA enforces identity-based access and AI-driven threat detection directly on endpoints. This ensures faster performance, better encrypted traffic inspection, and stronger protection against modern web attacks.
SIA is ideal for organizations with remote/hybrid users, SaaS environments, BYOD programs, and compliance requirements. Industries like BFSI, healthcare, tech, and education benefit most from continuous web protection across distributed workforces.
SIA blocks phishing, browser exploits, malicious SaaS apps, ransomware downloads, malware callbacks, and unsafe Wi-Fi exposure. It prevents credential theft and data leakage by enforcing real-time traffic controls and secure browsing policies.
Kitecyber uses AI-driven URL analysis, domain reputation scoring, and real-time link inspection to block phishing pages — even AI-generated ones — before users can enter credentials. This also protects against delayed link poisoning and fast-spawning malicious domains.
Yes. Kitecyber enforces identity + device-level validation for every browser request, ensuring no user is implicitly trusted. Access is restricted based on role, risk score, device trust, and geolocation, delivering Zero Trust across SaaS and web traffic.
Kitecyber uses a single lightweight agent that installs in minutes — no proxies, VPN reconfiguration, or DNS rerouting needed. Security teams can onboard thousands of endpoints instantly using zero-touch provisioning.
Kitecyber protects Windows, macOS, Linux, & iOS, including unmanaged and BYOD devices. SaaS access controls and web threat protection apply consistently across any network, office, home, or public Wi-Fi.
