McAfee Web Gateway GUI
The default HTTPS port for the web interface of McAfee Web Gateway 7, primarily used for secure administrative access. It provides a secure layer for configuring and managing web security policies, threat protection features, and monitoring network activity through an encrypted connection..
McAfee Web Gateway 7 is a comprehensive web security solution used by organizations to provide protection against malware, enforce corporate internet policies, and control user web activity. The administrative graphical user interface (GUI) is accessed via HTTPS on port 4712 by default, allowing administrators to configure and monitor the appliance securely over encrypted communication.
Port 4712 over HTTPS facilitates the management of proxy rule sets, application controls, SSL scanning policies, content filtering, and malware detection. The GUI offers granular configuration options for threat intelligence integration, incident reporting, and log analysis, all of which streamline administration and enhance security posture.
Technically, the service on this port relies on TLS/SSL protocols to establish a secure channel between an administrator's web browser and the appliance. The web server running on the gateway presents a certificate—either self-signed or CA-issued—to ensure confidentiality and integrity of the transmitted data, safeguarding management credentials and configuration details.
