Managed Browser
Also known as:
- Secure Enterprise Browser
What problem does it target?
Browser Isolation and Remote Browser solutions protect users from web-based threats by executing web content in a secure, isolated environment-either in the cloud or on a remote server-away from the user’s device. This approach prevents malware, ransomware, and zero-day attacks from reaching endpoints.
What does this solution do?
These platforms:
- Isolate browser sessions from endpoints
- Render web content remotely or in containers
- Block drive-by downloads and malicious scripts
- Integrate with SWG and CASB for layered security
Who is this for?
- High-risk users or sensitive environments
- Organizations facing targeted web attacks
- Security teams seeking to reduce endpoint risk
Who might not benefit from this?
- Teams with no internet or web access
- Environments with strict network isolation already in place
Pitfalls and remedies
| Pitfall | Remedy |
|---|---|
| User experience issues (latency, compatibility) | Pilot with key users and optimize settings |
| Incomplete isolation coverage | Combine with SWG for comprehensive protection |
| High cost for large deployments | Prioritize isolation for high-risk users |
