For decades, organizations have needed to compromise between security and business productivity. Web proxies protect organizations by blocking or allowing employees’ access to the web. Proxies leverage browsing policies, URL categorization, threats feed, SSL termination and A/V to model and identify good and bad websites but are challenged with handling risky and uncategorized sites. Today, with millions of new sites popping every day, some of which exist for less than 24 hours, the “block or allow” approach is no longer sufficient against malicious websites which prey on browser vulnerabilities to deliver malware. In recent years, web isolation (a.k.a remote browsing) has emerged as the leading technology for eliminating threats from risky and uncategorized sites. This agentless technology executes web sessions away from endpoints, sending a safe visual stream to users’ devices while providing a seamless browsing experience. Web isolation is proving to be a game changer in web security and is bringing a generational leap for web proxies. Enterprises can maximize business productivity with secure unrestricted web access to uncategorized and risky sites, while minimizing operational overhead from related to managing web access policies, support tickets, security alerts and investigations.
