Fly-Direct Secure Web Gateway With On-Device SSL Inspection and AI DLP

dope.security is a cybersecurity company that develops a secure web gateway designed to replace legacy data-center and cloud-routed proxy architectures. Its flagship product, dope.swg, is described as a fly-direct gateway that processes web traffic on the endpoint itself rather than backhauling it through a remote point of presence. The approach is positioned as a third-generation SWG, aiming to reduce latency and outages while still enforcing policy for remote and distributed workforces.

Core capabilities span SSL inspection, URL filtering, cloud application controls, personal email blocking, and detection of shadow IT and shadow AI usage. The platform supports real-time policy updates and integrates with services such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, and ChatGPT. By keeping inspection local to the device, dope.security intends to deliver consistent web security regardless of the network a user connects from, including untrusted or home environments.

The company also extends into data loss prevention, offering an endpoint-focused AI DLP capability alongside a cloud DLP product for SaaS environments. dope.security states that its platform is SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliant. The product is aimed at organizations of varying sizes that want to secure web access and sensitive data for a workforce that is increasingly mobile and reliant on cloud and AI applications.
