Web Security & RBI

Web Security refers to practices and technologies designed to protect websites, web applications, and their users from cyber threats. These threats can include malware, phishing attacks, unauthorized access, data breaches, and other forms of cyberattacks that could compromise user information, disrupt services, or damage the system’s reputation. Web security typically involves firewalls, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) for data encryption, authentication measures, security audits, and continuous monitoring of web traffic.

RBI (Remote Browser Isolation) is a specific web security technology that prevents potential cyber threats from reaching users’ devices by isolating web browsing activity in a secure, remote environment. RBI allows users to access web content through a controlled, isolated browser session that is not directly connected to their device. Any potential malware or malicious code is contained within this isolated environment, keeping the user’s local device and network safe from infection.

WhatsApp Web Protection Instant Messenger Isolation is a security solution designed to protect organizations from threats associated with web-based instant messaging clients like WhatsApp Web. it ensures that all instant messages received on endpoint browsers are opened and unencrypted in isolated containers in the cloud. This approach safeguards endpoints and networks from malware, ransomware, and other exploits Outbound messages can also be scanned using Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to enforce policies on data sharing, protecting organizations from malicious exfiltration of sensitive content, deliberate sharing, and accidental data loss.

Extracting Value from Web Security & RBI

Enhanced Protection: By using web security and RBI solutions, organizations reduce the risk of data breaches and infections, making their web infrastructure and users more resilient to cyber threats.
Improved Compliance: For industries with stringent compliance requirements (like finance, healthcare, etc.), implementing RBI can help ensure that sensitive data remains protected, aligning with regulations such as GDPR or HIPAA.
Operational Continuity: RBI minimizes the impact of browsing threats by keeping them contained, so organizations can maintain operational continuity even if they encounter potentially dangerous web content.
Reduced Downtime and Recovery Costs: Isolating threats means that infected devices are rare, lowering the need for costly incident responses and system downtime.
User Trust: With secure browsing measures, user confidence in the organization’s commitment to data security is bolstered, enhancing the reputation of the company.

What Can You Expect?

When users browse the web, they risk unknowingly downloading malware, ransomware, or malicious scripts embedded in websites, which can infect their devices and spread across the network.
Users can be tricked by phishing sites that look identical to legitimate login pages, leading to the theft of sensitive information like passwords and personal details.
Zero-day vulnerabilities in browsers are unknown or unpatched security flaws that attackers can exploit to gain unauthorized access to users' systems.

RBI prevents malware from reaching users’ devices by isolating browsing sessions in a remote environment. Any malicious code that executes remains in the isolated container and cannot affect the user’s device or the organization's network.
RBI solutions often include URL filtering and web content inspection, redirecting suspicious sites to read-only modes or blocking them entirely. This helps prevent users from submitting sensitive information to unauthorized websites.
Since browsing happens in a secure, isolated environment, any zero-day exploit is contained within the RBI solution and cannot reach the actual device.
