Most organizations have a basic solution to prevent their employees from browsing problematic sites such as gambling or pornography. However, according to Google’s “The Ghost in the Browser” report, 10,000-30,000 new malicious websites are detected every day. One person visiting any of them is enough to put your entire company at risk.Of course, the average business user is probably not inclined to visit sites that they do not consider safe. However, even if you only browse legal sites, you can never be completely sure that they are safe.Hackers can manipulate almost any site by inserting code that infects your browser in seconds, as soon as you load the site or click somewhere. Before you know it, your device, along with your entire corporate network, will be compromised.The bottom line is that if you don’t have some form of safe browsing enabled, every time one of your employees uses the internet, they put your business at enormous potential risk. Malware can be installed overnight – including fileless or previously unknown zero-day threats that can elude most anti-malware solutions.
User and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) give you more of a comprehensive way to make sure that your organization has top-notch IT security, while also helping you detect users and entities that might compromise your entire system.
Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) starts with the same basic virtual browser concept but takes it one step further. As its name implies, Remote Browser Isolation performs the user’s browsing behavior in a remote location isolated from the local network, unlike the RDS / VDI scenario described above. But that’s where the similarities end. Rather than using the full RDS or virtual desktop implementation, with RBI, the remote virtual browser is launched in a dedicated lightweight Linux container, with a separate resource allocated for each browser tab. When a user first starts a browsing session, whether it be clicking on a link or entering a URL in the browser, one of the containers from the pool is allocated for that session. All active web content is rendered into images and sound inside the container and transmitted in real time to the user’s device for fully transparent and interactive web browsing. Since no web code runs on the user’s device, your network and endpoints are protected from any malware or other threats that might be hiding in the source code. When a user closes or hides a tab, the corresponding container is thrown away along with malware that could otherwise compromise the security of the organization.
