Browsers are essential for businesses today, but they also expose organizations to online threats. Web Isolation provides a critical layer of protection by creating a virtualized browsing environment that isolates malicious content from user devices. This reduces the risk of malware infections and data breaches.
Web isolation uses two primary methods to protect users: virtualization and sandboxing. This prevents malicious content from reaching your device. It's like a quarantined area for websites, where everything is wiped clean after browsing leaving no trace of potential threats. Additionally, it protects user privacy by isolating certain websites and preventing the storage of cache, image files, and cookies on the local machine.
Endpoint Central's Web Isolation protects devices from malware and data breaches by segregating personal and business websites. It isolates malicious websites in a virtual environment, preventing them from infecting devices or accessing sensitive data. When a user visits a malicious website, web isolation prevents the malware from infecting their device. This policy is applicable to Microsoft Internet Explorer and Edge on Windows 10 Enterprise Edition version 1709 and later.
