        Internet Access - What's Inside?

        The Secure Internet Overview category secures your online activities via Perimeter 81.

        With comprehensive and easy-to-follow guides, we help you understand the features and settings to bolster your internet security.

        Malware Protection

        The Secure Web Gateway feature includes a Malware protection engine that intercepts malicious traffic on a user device and protects your users from malware coming through the web.

        The tool can scan files of all types, such as:

        • HTML
        • PDF
        • DOCX
        • EXE
        • RAR
        • ZIP
        • JS
        • Fonts
        • Pieces of malicious code injected into existing files
        • Many others

        Suppose malicious content is detected during a scan. In that case, the Secure Web Gateway will block it and present the user with a notification detailing the type of malicious content that was detected and blocked:


        Malware that comes from an application on the local machine.
        If malware is detected in any other application except your browser (such as Slack), a notification about the block will appear within the Perimeter 81 Agent.
        • The Malware detection engine scans the file and blocks access until the software decides if it’s clear or malicious. 
        • The Malware detection engine scans traffic on the endpoint itself, not affecting your Gateway's performance.
        • The Malware detection engine activates automatically for any user with the Web filtering feature activated.
        Payload limitation
        Currently, the Malware Protection Engine scans files under 10MB only.
