Zscaler Cloud Browser Isolation

Eliminate web-based threats and protect sensitive data.

Overview

Zscaler Cloud Browser Isolation creates a secure, isolated browsing session in the cloud, effectively creating an airgap between users and the internet. Instead of users directly accessing web content, Zscaler renders the content in a remote container and streams a safe, interactive feed of pixels to the user's native browser. This approach prevents malicious code from ever reaching the endpoint, protecting against zero-day attacks, ransomware, and phishing. It is an integrated component of the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform, working alongside Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) and Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) to enforce security policies on all web traffic for both managed and unmanaged devices.
