Security architecture that executes web content remotely or in hardened containers to reduce risk.

In plain English
Security architecture that executes web content remotely or in hardened containers to reduce risk.
Why this matters
Why it matters: Web browsing is a common attack vector; isolation lowers the impact of drive-by attacks.
Example
Example: Use remote browser isolation for high-risk users and control file downloads and clipboard access.
