Key differences in modern web security: Isolation vs. Native Control.
Choosing between Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) and an Enterprise Browser is about deciding where you want to manage your risk: in the cloud or on the device.
1. Remote Browser Isolation (RBI)
RBI creates an air gap between your network and the internet. All web code executes in a remote container, sending only visual pixels to the user.
- Containment: Malicious scripts never touch the local OS.
- Control: High level of restriction on data movement (copy/paste).
2. Enterprise Browser
A managed browser that runs natively on the device but provides IT with granular policy control over SaaS apps and data flow.
- Performance: Zero latency; indistinguishable from standard browsers.
- Visibility: Detailed logging of user actions and extension usage.
| Feature | RBI | Enterprise Browser |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | Complex Cloud Setup | Simple App Deployment |
| Performance | Latency Prone | Native Speed |
| Visibility | Limited (Black Box) | High (Audit Logs) |
