or  perceptible  latency,  even  though  the  web  content  is  being  rendered  in  an  isolated
               environment outside of the corporate network.

               A  remote  virtual  browser  is  utilized  to  isolate  the  actual  web  browsing  experience  from  the
               endpoint device to eliminate the risk of encountering rogue links and files. Enterprises have the
               flexibility to utilize any HTML5-based browser on any operating system or device.

               The browsing session is executed inside a disposable container located in a remote “safe zone.”
               It  is  then  rendered  in  real-time  and  transmitted  to  the  local  browser,  providing  a  native  user
               experience  and  ensuring  that  potential  malware  never  reaches  the  endpoint.  A  pristine  new
               container is allocated for every remote browsing session and tab, and is discarded once that
               session or tab is closed.

               Browser  isolation  solutions  provide  a  transparent  solution  for  users  without  compromising
               security, unlike the typical threat detection and remediation solutions currently on the market.

               As  organizations  review  their  cybersecurity  strategy,  budget  and  workplan,  browser  isolation
               can complement existing IT investments by offering an added security layer that is transparent
               to users and unobtrusive to business operations.
