Data security is a top priority for businesses and organizations in today’s digital world. With the rise of cyberattacks and malicious software, protecting sensitive information from potential threats is becoming increasingly important. That’s why many companies are turning to remote browser isolation (RBI) as an effective way to keep their networks safe.
Remote browser isolation is a technology that isolates web browsers from local computers by running them on virtual machines in the cloud or other secure locations. It helps prevent malware attacks by keeping potentially dangerous websites away from users’ devices while allowing access to necessary content online without putting their systems at risk. This makes RBI ideal for organizations that need a high level of protection but don’t want to sacrifice usability or convenience when navigating the web.
Another great benefit of using RBI is its ability to reduce IT costs associated with managing multiple physical desktops and laptops across an organization’s network—a common issue faced by large enterprises with hundreds or even thousands of employees accessing the internet daily through different devices in various locations around the globe. Additionally, by leveraging cloud-based solutions such as remote browser isolation, businesses can save money on hardware maintenance while providing robust security measures against malicious actors looking for vulnerable targets online.
Additionally, because this type of solution runs outside users’ local environment—in what’s known as an isolated container—it eliminates any potential risks posed by downloading files onto individual workstations since only clean versions are allowed into corporate networks via this method. This means no more worries about zero-day exploits surpassing traditional antivirus programs!
Remote browser isolation should be seriously considered if your organization needs heightened protection against cyber threats without sacrificing user experience or spending too much time/money on bulky hardware management tasks every month.

Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) is a web security technology that creates a gap between a remote user’s internet browser and corporate networks or user devices [1][2], to protect against online threats. RBI works by moving the execution of all browsing activity from the user’s device to a remote server [3], ensuring that untrusted browser activity is kept as far away as possible from user devices and networks [4]. This can be achieved through cloud-hosted or on-premises solutions. RBI helps protect users from malicious web-borne threats in real-time [1], without impacting their performance. It is also known as web isolation or cloud browser isolation [5].
