Here’s how a browser firewall helps you avoid security risks
What is a browser firewall?
Browser firewall is a feature within the zero-trust browsing solution that controls access to web-based resources and cloud tools by applying firewall rules directly to browser traffic. Simply put, it allows or blocks connections inside the browser based on your organization’s policy.
Ensures internal tools are accessible only to authorized users
Keeps internal tools like HR systems, admin panels, and internal dashboards available only to approved employees or teams and hidden from unintended audiences.
Restricts browser access to approved internal and cloud resources
Limits browser access to approved SaaS applications and internal web services, blocking unauthorized websites and unapproved business tools.
Keeps internal services hidden
Prevents internal web applications from being exposed to users or devices that don’t comply with your access policies, minimizing unnecessary risk.
Protects your sensitive business applications
Helps secure access to internal company systems containing sensitive information, such as HR records, financial statements, and customer data, against online threats.
A CLOSER LOOK
How does a browser firewall work, exactly?
Browser Firewall enforces firewall rules directly within the browser. While policy-based routing determines how traffic is routed, Browser Firewall decides which connections are permitted based on the user, destination, and web service. Connections that don't match your policies are blocked before the page loads.
