A popular endpoint security strategy for users who have access to important data is to implement a physical air gap, also known as “Privileged Access Workstations” (PAW) or “Secure Access Workstations” (SAW). With PAWs, each end user has a separate laptop or desktop that is dedicated solely to sensitive tasks and information. These devices are […]
From app sandboxing to OS isolation: How the endpoint is evolving Last week, HP announced that it has acquired Bromium, maker of an app sandboxing product that uses virtual machines (VMs) to sandbox specific applications, such as browsers and office apps. This acquisition marks another important milestone in the evolution of endpoint isolation technologies. […]
Isolation is an increasingly popular endpoint security strategy, and with good reason. It reduces risk by separating endpoint attack vectors from cyber criminals. Browser isolation is one of several isolation approaches. (Application, virtual and physical air gaps and virtual desktop infrastructure/VDI are others). Its concept is simple: move Internet activity away from a company’s local networks […]
Network Isolation, the segmenting of a computer network into separate zones with distinct trust levels, for the purpose of containing hazards or reducing damage caused by a threat actor, is a hallmark of nearly every security-minded network design. Even though implementing port security policies, VLANs, VPNs, and other technologies can take many months of planning […]
CISOs and security professionals often refer to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and other “remote application” solutions as security barriers that hackers have a hard time bypassing. That’s a myth, and here’s why. Thin client scenarios are precarious. These uses of VDI pose only a minor hurdle to determined cyber-criminals. An employee using a thin client […]
