What is remote browser isolation?

RBI keeps you safe from web-based threats by running all browsing activity in a private, cloud-based space. Using RBI allows you to isolate your web browsing activities from your other devices and local networks in a separate, encrypted environment.

4 benefits of remote browser isolation

Although there are many advantages to using RBI, here are four of RBI’s top benefits.

1. RBI protects users against web-based threats

Organizations should use RBI because it protects them and their employees from web-based threats by separating a user’s browsing activity from the rest of a device and network. RBI stops web-based threats like malware, ransomware and zero-day vulnerabilities because a website’s code never runs locally on a device. For example, in a zero-day attack, a cybercriminal could exploit weaknesses in a device’s software that haven’t been fixed yet. If an employee is using RBI, web browsing experiences are secure and isolated, so cybercriminals’ activities cannot affect the entire device or network.

2. Cloud-based RBI solutions are easy to set up and maintain

Since RBI is cloud-based, it typically requires minimal user configuration and is usually easy for organizations to maintain. All you have to do is launch the website you intend to visit when using RBI. Cloud-based RBI solutions also offer automatic updates and patching to keep everyone in your organization protected with the latest security.

3. RBI blocks malicious web content from reaching computers

RBI can be configured to block any malicious content. Having a remote and secure environment for browsing sessions means that malicious content cannot reach a user’s computer. For example, if malicious content is loaded either in a pop-up or on the site, RBI will stop anything from being downloaded onto the user’s device due to its isolated environment, ensuring their computer stays secure. Some RBI solutions can be configured to block malicious websites completely, which also reduces cyber threats.

4. RBI helps ensure Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is a security framework that upholds strict access controls and authentication whether a user or device is inside or outside the organization’s network. The main idea of ZTNA is that no user or device should be trusted, even if they are inside a network, so everyone must verify their identity and authorization before accessing the network. RBI supports ZTNA because its isolated environment can be configured to restrict and monitor who accesses specific web browsing sessions.
