FortiSASE Secure Web Gateway: Secure Web Access for Google Workspace Users
FortiSASE Secure Web Gateway is a free Chrome extension developed by Fortinet. It allows Google Workspace administrators to configure secure web access for their users. With this extension, administrators can enable or disable proxy connectivity based on the deployment configuration of the extension.
Users of this extension must be members of a Google Workspace, and they do not have control over which proxy is used. The choice of proxy is determined and enforced by the Google Workspace administrator through group policies.
FortiSASE provides cloud-delivered security and networking for remote users, and the Secure Web Gateway is one of the methods it offers for remote connectivity. Typically, users connect to the proxy via a PAC file configuration on their device. However, for administrators of Google Workspace or ChromeOS, there may be a need for automatic proxy configuration, which can be achieved through this extension.
The latest version of FortiSASE Secure Web Gateway (v1.0.4) addresses an issue where PAC settings were not applied immediately. Previous versions (v1.0.3, v1.0.2, v1.0.1) included bug fixes and improvements.
Overall, FortiSASE Secure Web Gateway is a valuable tool for Google Workspace administrators looking to enhance the security and control of web access for their users.
