Cloudflare + Remote Browser Isolation
Jan 7, 2020Darren Remington
Summary
This post announces Cloudflare's acquisition of S2 Systems Corporation and introduces their remote browser isolation (RBI) technology. It explains the inherent security risks of traditional web browsing and enterprise challenges with browser control and compliance. The post details how cloud-based RBI works by executing browsers remotely and streaming content to the endpoint, contrasting it with local isolation and pixel-pushing remoting technologies. It highlights S2 Systems' DOM reconstruction approach as a more scalable and cost-effective alternative to pixel pushing, while acknowledging its own security considerations.
