McAfee WebGaetway Questions

[Maheshnaidu]

Hello All,

I am looking for some basic questions to understand about the McAfee Web Gateway appliance;

1. Is this McAfee Web gateway comes only with appliance model or a software is also available to install?

2. This is completely hard coded appliance? what i mean here is - have McAfee had come up with their own set of commands or still we could use all unix/linux commands? What level of control is been given to customers operate on appliance?

2. When we are using this in cloud( AWS or Azure) , is this only can be deployed as appliance or can be installed as software?

4. Is there any possibility we could harden the McAfee web gateway appliance?

2. This is completely hard coded appliance? what i mean here is - have McAfee had come up with their own set of commands or still we could use all unix/linux commands? What level of control is been given to customers operate on appliance? This is a MLOS and customized linux so you will be able to run the linux command but not all the commands.

2. When we are using this in cloud( AWS or Azure) , is this only can be deployed as appliance or can be installed as software?It can be a Software and we do have a OVA available on Product download site.

4. Is there any possibility we could harden the McAfee web gateway appliance?Not required and it is  already customized  MLOS
