Why Is Browser Isolation Important?
As your data and applications increasingly move from your data center to the cloud, your employees are doing more of their work over the internet. Often, they may be connected almost constantly. That can help keep them productive, but it also introduces risk.
Cyberattacks such as phishing acquire targets through a user’s web browser, serving malvertising (malicious ads), clickbait that can lead to malicious content, browser-based trojans, and more. Once a browser is connected to a site, it can give cybercriminals an open door into a user’s machine, and ultimately your network.
You can try to block high-risk websites through a firewall, but a blocklist won’t account for unknown threats, and an allowlist will frustrate your users with restrictions. Traditional network security measures weren’t designed for the cloud and today’s open internet. That’s why you need to use remote browser isolation.
RBI is not network security. By placing a user’s browser session in an isolated sandbox in the cloud, it ensures cyberthreats such as ransomware and other malware can’t enter your network through compromised webpages.
