Proofpoint Browser Isolation is a remote browser isolation solution that separates web browsing activity from local networks and infrastructure by operating in a secure virtualized environment. The solution contains all web activity within a closed virtualized environment without allowing browser-based code to access other sections of the user's device. The technology sanitizes web pages by stripping them of active content and re-renders those pages on the local browser using static content. Web pages are isolated within a remote cloud-based browser where active content such as scripts are executed. The solution dynamically limits user input to reduce browser-based credential theft and blocks downloads to prevent drive-by malware attacks. Real-time content inspection detects threats such as phishing URLs and ransomware and automatically blocks further use of pages when threats are discovered. The solution protects against malware infections, phishing threats, credential theft, email fraud, data loss, watering-hole attacks, and email links to weaponized cloud applications. The solution integrates with Targeted Attack Protection to provide adaptive controls that allow corporate email to isolate URL clicks based on risk profiles. The solution is cloud-based and offers automated operation with browsing sessions from uncategorized or potentially risky URLs automatically isolated from the corporate environment.
