Threat actors often target employees with attacks ofphishingto steal credentials and bypass detection and response controlsendpoints, which makes an additional layer of visibility and control on the web browser necessary.

Currently, Gartner estimates that less than 10% of companies have adopted an SEB. Companies that mainly rely on applications in the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, with few branches or cyber-physical systems to protect, need a simpler method of managing protection technology than thosepilhastraditional security measures. The SEBs meet this need.
Furthermore, SEBs allow segmented access from end-user devices that are minimally or not managed and from personal devices (bring-your-own PC), on which the deployment of agents ofendpointIt would be inappropriate due to privacy or maintenance reasons.
SEBs incorporate enterprise security controls directly into the native web browsing experience using a custom browser or an extension for existing browsers, instead of adding external controls.endpointor in the network layer," saysEvgeny MirolyubovSenior Analyst Director at Gartner.

Companies that implement SEBs can:
– Implement corporate security policiesand gain visibility into web traffic without the need for inline decryption, which can improve application performance and latency.
– Support the transition of clients' legacy applicationsfor the provision of modern SaaS applications.
– Complement or reduce dependence on Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDIs)and desktop as a service for companies that prioritize remote or outsourced work andthe cloud supply.
– Increase protection resourcesantiphishingand against credential theft, such as protection against the reuse of corporate credentials on unauthorized or malicious sitesphishing, on devices where browser use is restricted to selected SEBs.
– Enhance visibility and reporting on web application usage, employee performance and behavioral analyses for lightly managed or unmanaged devices and for companies without a mature Employee Digital Experience strategy.
