Exploring the Impact of Browser Isolation Software on Internet Security in Africa

The advent of the digital age has brought about a significant transformation in the way we conduct our daily activities, especially in the realm of internet usage. However, this digital revolution has also ushered in a new era of cyber threats, making internet security a paramount concern. In Africa, where internet usage is rapidly growing, the need for robust internet security measures is more pressing than ever. One such measure that is gaining traction is the use of browser isolation software.

Browser isolation software is a cybersecurity technology that separates a user’s browsing activity from their network and endpoints, thereby preventing any potential cyber threats from reaching the user’s device. This technology has been instrumental in enhancing internet security, particularly in Africa, where cyber threats have been on the rise.

The impact of browser isolation software on internet security in Africa is profound. Firstly, it has significantly reduced the risk of malware attacks. In Africa, where many users lack the technical know-how to protect themselves from such threats, browser isolation software has proven to be a game-changer. By isolating browsing activities from the network, it prevents malware from infiltrating the user’s device, thereby safeguarding their data.

Secondly, browser isolation software has helped curb the menace of phishing attacks. Phishing is a cybercrime where a user is tricked into revealing sensitive information, such as passwords and credit card numbers, under the guise of a legitimate request. With browser isolation software, even if a user falls for a phishing scam, the attacker cannot gain access to the user’s device or network, thus mitigating the potential damage.

Moreover, browser isolation software has also enhanced the privacy of internet users in Africa. In an era where data privacy is a major concern, this software ensures that users’ browsing activities are not tracked or monitored, thereby protecting their privacy. This is particularly important in Africa, where data privacy laws are still in their nascent stages.

Safous Adds Browser Isolation to Its Zero-Trust Network Access Service

/in


TOKYO (PRWEB) SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (TSE Prime: 3774), one of Japan’s leading Internet access and comprehensive network solutions providers, announced to add a new remote browser isolation function, “Browser Isolation” to the zero-trust network access (ZTNA) (*) service, “Safous”, which is mainly available for users in the U.S and Asia and will be available starting today.

The Safous platform is a zero-trust remote access service that provides application-level control over corporate applications and external software as a service (SaaS) access from a remote environment. This optional Browser Isolation function is Safous’ proprietary, sandbox-based virtual browser that allows users to access applications and SaaS virtually, eliminating browser-based threats and providing more secure access.

“Kasm Technologies is honored to provide Kasm Workspaces remote browser isolation, our web-native secure remote access and DevOps-enabled container streaming technology, to Safous’ Browser Isolation function. Browser Isolation is an industry-leading, cost-effective, and secure browser-based remote access solution,” stated Justin Travis, Co-founder and CEO of Kasm Technologies.

ZTNA is a zero-trust solution that provides seamless and secure remote access to internal applications. Instead of authenticating at the boundaries of the enterprise network, authentication is performed through a trusted broker system each time an application is accessed.

More companies have started using SaaS in recent years, including powerhouses like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, due to the popularization of hybrid work. Unfortunately, these cloud-based systems are critical targets for attackers. In several reported cases, company networks are infected with malware and ransomware through a remote environment, causing a data breach and the suspension of business operations.

Because the browser and network on the terminal side are not secure in remote environments – and are potentially infected with malware already – the need to access internal data from remote environments securely has become a more urgent issue for companies. To solve this problem, Browser Isolation protects…
