Network security managers are always on a lookout for possible cyber-attacks on their networks. They are wary of the fact that anytime, their networks will be subject to a perilous cyber-attack that may compromise the important information of their networks. There are millions of malwares that prowls the cyberspace looking for a network that they can attack and breach.

There are many cyber-attackers who are well-funded. These cyber-attackers are always devising new ways to breach the perimeters of networks to steal important information. Cyber-attackers have varied reasons, but they generally have the same goals—to breach the perimeter defenses of networks so that they could get valuable information. They often use phishing emails that have malware attachments to deceive unscrupulous end-users into clicking on these emails. Employees are the number one targets of these phishing attacks because employees are the ones who usually share a lot of information in cyberspace. Cyber-attackers likewise use web browser attacks that target the weakest links in the organizations. They exploit these weakest points in the network to gain access into the important data of the system network.  They are so adept in finding these weak points, and they can easily capitalize and exploit the holes in most programming languages and software. Java exploits, for example, are attacks that focus on exploiting the vulnerabilities in Oracle Java. To protect themselves from these types of web browser attacks, network security managers and computer owners usually create a virtual browser that is physically or logically isolated from the operating system of the computer. This ensure that an end-users will have a secure internet access to websites without compromising their computer or system network.

How Does Web Isolation Eliminate Cyber-threats?

There are many threats to networks in cyberspace, some of these threats include advanced threats, malware, and phishing attacks. It is previously difficult for networks and end-users to prevent these attacks. However, there are security network experts that can isolate these attacks. They have created a virtual browser wherein they can isolate and execute all the contents in an isolated environment to prevent these malicious contents from infecting the network or the computer of the end-users. This environment is an isolated platform wherein contents are executed without affecting the system or network.

Phishing attacks, for example, deceive end-users into compromising their corporate passwords to websites that are not parts of their corporate websites. Once these passwords are compromised, the defenses of a network can be easily breached. Via the use of web isolation, employees are prevented from compromising the security and integrity of their corporate network. Moreover, employees are prevented from sharing their sensitive data and information with the use of web isolation. This security strategy likewise can differentiate malicious traffic from lawful and legitimate traffic. Lastly, the end-users casually experience seamless browsing of websites that they want to access; yet, these browsing happen in an isolated platform wherein the contents that they browse are isolated and executed. The good thing about this website isolation platform is that it can readily and seamlessly integrate itself with any existing security measure and solution.
