Dope Security Endpoint Secure Web Gateway (SWG)

Founded in 2021 and headquartered in California, USA, Dope Security aims to solve the performance, reliability, and privacy issues caused by traditional SWG architectures that backhaul traffic to data centers. Its core innovation is the "Fly-Direct" architecture, executing security functions directly on the endpoint device.

  • Core product dope.swg (Fly Direct SWG) is a cloud-managed agent running on the endpoint, handling web filtering, SSL inspection, and anti-malware.
  • casb_neural (Dopamine DLP) is an AI-powered CASB/DLP solution focusing on content awareness and cloud data security posture management.
  • Provides dope.vpn functionality, integrated into the endpoint agent.
  • The Full Dope Suite integrates SWG, CASB/DLP, and VPN functions, managed through a single cloud console.
  • Emphasizes significant performance improvements (up to 4x) and reliability due to eliminating traffic backhauling.
  • Simplifies deployment and management, offering instant trials and an intuitive console.
    Enhances user privacy through local processing.
