Remote browser isolation
Remote browser isolation (RBI) opens web pages in a separate, disposable environment and sends only a safe view to the user. If a page carries malware, it never reaches the laptop. It suits unknown sites, webmail links and contractors on unmanaged devices.
What we do
- Risky-category isolation policy
- Link isolation for mail
- Contractor access design
- Clipboard and download rules
- Browser policy rollout
- Pilot with feedback
- Log review
Our team has experience with cloud isolation services and with secure enterprise browsers. We apply isolation to risky categories and uncategorized sites rather than everything, and set clear rules for downloads, copy and paste, and printing.

Direct answers to the questions we hear most. Something else on your mind?
Send us a messageDoes remote browser isolation slow users down?
Some pages feel slightly different, and we test the experience with a pilot group before a wider rollout. Isolating only risky and uncategorized sites, instead of everything, keeps most daily browsing normal.
Should we isolate every website?
Usually not. It is most useful for unknown sites, links in email and contractors on unmanaged devices. Isolating all browsing adds cost and friction for little extra safety, so we start with risky categories.
What can users do with downloads, copy and paste in an isolated page?
That is a policy choice. Pages can be read-only, downloads can be blocked or scanned, and copy, paste and printing can be allowed or denied by group. We set clear rules and review the session logs.
Can isolation let a contractor use our web apps from their own laptop?
Yes, that is a common use. The page runs in the isolated environment, so company data does not land on the contractor's device. It reduces risk but does not replace sign-in controls such as multi-factor authentication.
