Remote Browser Isolation: What It Is and How It Works

ZTEdge Web Isolation uses Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) to isolate websites from the end user production environment by air-gapping and rendering the website content, and then applying organization-defined policies to restrict certain browser functionality. This protects the organization while also providing the user with policy-controlled access to websites that they might otherwise not be able to access. Enabling users to view, use and interact with the websites they need on their usual browsers, as they normally do, increases productivity and reduces user frustration.

With ZTEdge Web Isolation, when a user browses to a website or clicks a link, a virtual browser is created in an isolated container in the cloud or on a remote server. Website code executes in the virtual browser, where it remains: Content is rendered into an interactive media stream representing the website and sent to the regular browser on the user's device. When the user stops browsing a site, the isolated container is destroyed, along with the virtual browser and all website content within—including any malware or ransomware that may have been on the site.

Because websites do not execute on the endpoint, no content is left in the browser cache of the user device. If a device is stolen, lost or breached, content that has been uploaded to or downloaded from the web can’t be retrieved from the browser cache.
