Submission declined on 7 November 2024 by KylieTastic (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

What is Blue Coat Technology?

Blue Coat Technology is a cybersecurity company that provides a range of products and services to protect businesses from cyber threats. The company was founded in 1996 and was acquired by Symantec in 2016. In 2019, Symantec's Enterprise Security business, including Blue Coat, was sold to Broadcom.

Blue Coat's products include:

ProxySG: A secure web gateway that filters and inspects web traffic to prevent malware, viruses, and other threats.

Advance Threat Protection (ATP) System: A cloud-based security solution that protects against advanced threats such as zero-day exploits and ransomware. SSL Visibility Appliance: A device that decrypts SSL/TLS traffic to allow inspection for security threats.

PacketShaper: A WAN optimization appliance that improves network performance by reducing latency and jitter.

K9 Web Protection: A web filtering solution that helps to protect children from inappropriate content online. Blue Coat also offers a range of professional services, including security consulting, incident response, and managed security services.

Blue Coat technology has been used by governments to censor and monitor internet traffic.

This has led to criticism from human rights groups, who argue that Blue Coat's products can be used to suppress freedom of expression.
