What is Remote Browser Isolation?
Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) is a cybersecurity technique that is designed to protect endpoints like laptops, mobile devices from web-based threats. It's design is simple, works by executing web browsing in a remote isolated environment, typically on remote servers in docker containers, instead of client's local device
How it works
- User interaction
When a user wants to access to a website, just clicks the link from their device
- Remote Execution
This link is transfers to a remote server. And server opens that link in a browser and streams the browser screen to client.
- Interaction
When you click on your browser screen, or type keyboard, all interactions transfers to remote browser.
- Security
Only remote browser screen is transfers to your computer as video and audio, by this way, harmfull content can not reach client's device.
Benefits
- Isolation of Threats
Suspicious links can be opened remotely, in an isolated remote environment.
- Simplified Endpoint Security
By offloading web browsing to a remote environment, there's less deman for endpoint security measures.
