- 15. 15 from the user's physical desktop and enterprise network, any attacks on the remote browser session are constrained in their ability to cause damage. Every browser session is isolated and treated as if it might have been compromised and, ideally, every session is reset back to a known good state from immutable templates when completed. The very act of users browsing the internet and clicking on URL links opens the enterprise to significant risk. Symantec's 2017 Internet Threat Report (https://www.symantec.com/security-center/threat-report) found that an average of 2.4 new browser vulnerabilities are discovered per day, and its labs detected an average of 229,000 web-based attacks per day. In the Kaspersky Security Bulletin: Overall Statistics for 2017 report, 1 browser-based exploits still represented the bulk of exploits used in cyberattacks (see Figure 2). Figure 2. Distribution of Exploits Used in Cyberattacks, by Type of Application Attacked, November 2016 to October 2017 Source: Adapted from Kaspersky Lab Attacking through the browser is too easy, and the targets are too rich. Depending on the nature of the underlying vulnerability What Symantec 2017 Internet Threat Report: • An average of 2.4 new browser vulnerabilities are discovered per day • An average of 229,000 web-based attacks per day • 76% of all websites contain a critical vulnerability Kaspersky Lab

- 19. What Can We Do? 19
- 20. Provide Protection • Perimeter-based – Firewall – Secure Web Gateway – Web Application Firewall – Signature-based Malware Scanning – AI/ML • Endpoints – Anti-Virus – Malware Detection – Agent-based – Device Control – Endpoint intelligent – Asset Management – Compliance 20
- 21. Do they works? May be… • Agent-based software • Scale – # of endpoints – Platform manageability and scalability • Resources – Resource-intensive platform productivity • Accuracy and Efficacy – Detection rate – False positive • Administration and Deployment – Large enterprises – Small business • Can’t effectively protect 21
- 22. So… What is the Alternative? 22

- 24. Security Through Physical Isolation 24 Internet Enterprise Air Gapping
- 25. We Know that … • Web-based attacks prevention is the goals but difficult to achieve • Perfect prevention of breaches is not possible. Strategy must be the isolation and containment of an attacker’s ability to do damage • Browser-based attacks are primary threat vector • Vulnerable browser and plug-ins are easy targets • It is never good enough no matter how good we do patching and attacks blocking • Need to acknowledge and accept some attacks will succeed no matter what we do • Should focus on contain attackers’ ability to cause damage and reduce attack surface 25
- 27. The Browser Isolation Provides … • Using browser isolation can separate end user internet browsing session from enterprises endpoints and networks • Browser isolation can dramatically reduce web-based attacks • An air-gap between the device and the browser • Detach web browser from the endpoint. • Software to secure endpoints by providing end-users with virtual, abstracted web browser • Protection from intrusion or malware injection, only browsers, not devices, are infected • Zero Trust Framework 27

- 30. Client-Based Browser Isolation • Actual isolation on the user local machine • Create new virtual instance in the client • Local hypervisor • Advantages – No need additional server – Leverage local machine computing resources • Problem – Physical isolation? – Potentially break out the virtual instance 30
- 32. Server-based Browser Isolation • Isolation on remote machines • New virtual instance created for each session • VM or container based • Advantages – Better Isolation – No Agent software installed – Can implement without any changes • Problem – Need appliance/server – Bandwidth 32
- 33. The Players 33
- 34. Current List of Players • Apozy • Appsulate • Authentic8 Silo • Bromium • Cigloo • Crusoe Isolation Platform • Cyberinc Isla • Cyberwall • Ericom Shield • Garrison • Light Point Web • Menlo Security • Ntrepid Passages • ProofPoint • Randed Isolation Technology (RITech) • Symantec Web Isolation (acquired FireGlass) • WebGap 34
- 36. Benefits • Completely isolated browser activities and the devices • Agentless implementation – in server-based • Breaches in the browser do not affect devices • Protect from unpatched browsers and plug-ins • Effectively web-based cyber attacks and malware protection • Browser session reset to a known good state after use • Centralize policy management • Additional security functions with SWG, WAF, etc. 36
- 37. Challenges • Latency • Performance • Bandwidth • Scalability & high availability • Cloud-based vs. on-prem • Seamless experiences • Some browser capabilities may be limited (cut/paste) • Mobile devices 37
- 39. Summary • Provide alternative for isolating and containing attackers’ ability to damage • Reduce of web-based attack impact and breach prevention • Eliminate the persistent of undetected and stealthy attacks • Isolated user activities from Internet attacks • Current adoption rate is 1% in 2017 to 25% in 2022* • Organization can experiences 70% reduction in attacks that compromised end-user systems* • Still have some challenges. Plan carefully. • Start with high-risk user groups (financial, etc.) 39 * March 2018 Gartner Report on Remote Browser Isolation
