Isolation: Defining a Fresh Approach to Cybersecurity

Let’s face it. The 2017 cybersecurity reality is bleak, and the task of guarding cyber assets is increasingly difficult. Discover the four key trends to cybersecurity in 2017 and how to take a fresh approach. Download the IDC Technology Spotlight to learn more.

An Isolated Web Browser Picks Up Where Current Cybersecurity Measures Fall Short

Although we have seen some innovative new offerings in the cybersecurity market, the approach taken by the majority of today’s technologies is essentially the same: They are looking to detect the bad or malicious.

This method is limited in its success, like an infinitely iterative “cat and mouse game” of detection technology implemented by security professionals, and detection evasion techniques implemented by miscreants. The only way to escape the continual “cat and mouse game” is to deal with the problem differently.

The solution is not more of the same; rather, different approaches are required to address the issue. Isolation is a new application of technology that fundamentally changes the approach to cybersecurity by shifting the effort from deciding whether a file or an activity is malicious to keeping all external interaction separate and distinct.

This Technology Spotlight examines the isolation approach to security and looks at our secure isolated browser, Passages, in the emerging market for isolation security.
