IT security teams experience a constant barrage of attacks attempting to penetrate defenses and steal data. According to Symantec research, the vast majority of these cyber-attacks originate from the web and email. Cybercriminals leverage a variety of malware and social engineering tactics to dupe employees into infecting devices and networks with malware, often by luring them to malicious websites.
Millions of new Internet hosts (domains and sub-domains) are born every day. The vast majority of these exist for less than 24 hours, coming up and down quickly. Analysis reveals that while the majority of these hosts have valid business purposes, many of them are tools for hackers. These sites, valid and malicious, are often not quickly categorized and analyzed for risk and may not be blocked by web filtering and threat intelligence services because they have such a short-lived reputational history. Without proper categorization, classification, or assignment of a risk profile, security professionals have a real challenge on their hands with transient and unknown websites.
Some enterprises set policies that completely block sites when they are uncategorized or if they go beyond a risk rating threshold. This typically results in over-blocking employee web use as valid sites get caught in these types of policy rules. Others may choose to roll the dice and permit access to these types of sites in order to not impede employee ability to perform business activities, but this opens up the organization to undo risk. This risk is magnified in the case of privileged users, who are prized targets for cybercriminals because of the significant access rights and sensitive data typically found on their machines.
Web isolation eliminates web threats and solves the challenge of providing secured access to uncategorized and potentially risky websites.
