Every Business Leader will agree – todays employees need unified, easy to manage access to any information from any place or it will impact their productivity. The IT Security department on the other hand needs to ensure overall security, privacy and compliance.
This article will show you how you can keep up highest security despite complete freedom of web usage… and ultimately provide your users with “The perfect User Experience in Web Usage”.
Most well known security tools today focus on three steps – threat identification, defense and elimination. To do so, these tools rely on information regularly updated by the tool vendor to adapt to new threats or malicious web sites as they get known. For optimal protection the IT security team will segment their network for different risk zones depending on the type of services and data contained and then use the tools to apply different rules to these zones. As a result users will end up with different behavior depending from where, what time or on what device they connect causing a severe disruption of User Experience and Productivity.
The ultimate problem and limitation of this approach lays in ‘recognition’ and ‘locking access’. Current tools need to be able to RECOGNIZE a threat before they can act – followed by LOCKING access to that content. While this worked fine years ago with viruses embedded in files and similar approaches, there are now hundreds of new threats appearing daily on the web and it takes significant time for the tools to cover protection from these. To improve protection Black-/Whitelists are used to block entire websites – even though there may only be a single page on that site that really contains a malware. Users are blocked from information potentially needed for work.
REMOTE BROWSER ISOLATION (RBI) uses a different approach bringing together ultimate security with maximum freedom of access to web content – no matter from where and on what device.
RBI will execute any website a user launches in a remote isolated container. The user continues to see and operate the site in his browser, but any potentially embedded malware will execute in the remote container where it will not be able to access any data or user details. This means that you get ABSOLUTE SECURITY – WITHOUT BLOCKING INFORMATION.
The benefits of RBI Technology:
- No need to limit a users ability to access websites
- No need to identify a threat
- No need of VPN and other complex and expensive 3rd party tools
- Massive reduction of operational cost
- Massive improvement of user productivity
- ANY DEVICE. ANY PLACE.
