Phishing remains one of the most widespread and pernicious threats in cybersecurity. This fraud technique, which consists in impersonating a person or organization to deceive users into extracting confidential information, generally occurs through emails, SMS or messages on social networks (Microsoft and Facebook being the most exposed) that seem legitimate but whose consequences for the security and reputation of companies can be very serious.

The technological response to phishing: Remote Browser Isolation (RBI)

Faced with these increasingly sophisticated phishing attacks, employee awareness (cf. the latest ANSSI recommendations in the field), although crucial, must be complemented by robust and proactive technological solutions. Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) is presented as a particularly effective solution in its security approach by isolating the Internet browsing activity of users in a secure virtual environment separate from critical business infrastructure.

How does it work?

Isolation of suspicious URLs

Compatible with all browsers on the market, VirtualBrowser easily integrates with corporate proxies to secure access to risky sites. RBI technology will therefore make it possible to redirect all uncategorized, unrecognized and therefore potentially suspicious websites to an isolated and remote virtual browser. The web pages will then be executed remotely and returned to the user's browser in the format of a pixel stream., with no difference in the browsing experience and above all without the residual risk of malicious code for the user and the company network.

User order protection

The RBI solution therefore responds to these attack attempts not only by isolating users' Internet browsing activity but above all by blocking user orders based on the danger of the site. Thus, when a user is targeted by a phishing attempt on an unreputable site, VirtualBrowser proactively blocks the user's keyboard input ability on the site being accessed, thus protecting it against all theft of sensitive data (identifiers, passwords, bank data, etc.).

Benefits

• Simplified management : VirtualBrowser is designed to be easy to use, minimizing constraints for IT teams and allowing rapid adaptation to specific business needs.
• Extensive compatibility : Works with no agents or plugins to install and is compatible with all common browsers, offering maximum flexibility without requiring complex changes to the existing system.
• Browsing policies set by the administrator : IT administrators can establish strict navigation rules to secure navigation to uncontrolled websites by prohibiting users' input capabilities on them, thus strengthening business security against the theft of sensitive data.
• Adaptability to all business sizes : Whether for a small start-up or a large company, VirtualBrowser easily integrates with the proxy, ensuring secure and worry-free browsing for all employees.

In conclusion, Remote Browser Isolation is an effective response to combat growing phishing threats. By offering an additional layer of security to remotely isolate all browsing activities of uncategorized websites, combined with the ability to control authorized interactions on them (blocking keyboard input), companies can now significantly strengthen their cybersecurity.
