Remote Browser Isolation
Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) separates high-risk web activity from the endpoint. Use it when the business must allow access to uncertain or risky sites without giving active web content direct execution access on managed devices. RBI is part of the application ecosystem because it complements proxy policy. The proxy decides whether a request is allowed, blocked, inspected, or redirected into a safer browsing path. Isolation reduces endpoint exposure when a complete block would interrupt legitimate work.Risk and control fit
Use RBI when
- Legal, finance, security, or research teams must inspect unknown sites.
- Executives and privileged users face targeted phishing risk.
- A temporary exception is necessary but direct endpoint rendering is too risky.
- Audit teams need proof that risky access was controlled, not silently allowed.
Evidence to retain
Pair RBI decisions with proxy and reporting evidence:- user identity and destination
- policy decision that sent the session to isolation
- time of access and session result
- related block, bypass, or exception record
Next steps
- Use Proxy Service to understand the enforcement point.
- Use Reporting Service to retain investigation evidence.
