What are the advantages of using the Island Enterprise Browser for data security?
Summary
The Island Enterprise Browser supports data privacy by:
- Eliminating centralized cloud inspection
- Providing contextual policy application
- Communicating privacy status
- Ensuring data sovereignty compliance
- Providing full user privacy assurance
Details
The traditional approach to securing data, which involves using cloud-based services, often cannot meet the needs of organizations that need to comply with local data privacy laws.
The Island Enterprise Browser is a new approach to data privacy that offers a number of advantages over traditional approaches.
- It is designed specifically for the enterprise environment and does not collect or sell user data.
- It uses a transformative architectural approach that ensures no dependency upon centralized cloud inspection or the need to break into SSL traffic for visibility.
- It provides contextually delivered policy application and audit levels that account for the user, their group memberships, their geographic location, the device they are using, the network they are on, the application or even the application tenant they are using.
- It provides transparent communication of privacy status and policy to the end user to provide a clear understanding of their privacy situation throughout their browser usage.
- It offers flexible auditing and monitoring capabilities to ensure proper levels of privacy versus audit depth at the appropriate times.
- It ensures compliance with data sovereignty laws by ensuring that data remains in the appropriate geographical footprint.
- It provides full user privacy assurance from organizational monitoring or the broader Internet where desired, based on the contextual situation required by the organization.
Terms and Definitions
Data sovereignty is the principle that data should be subject to the laws and governance structures of the country in which it is collected. This means that the government of the country where the data is located has the authority to regulate the collection, storage, processing, and transfer of that data.
Cloud security is the collection of technologies, policies, and procedures used to protect cloud-based applications, data, and infrastructure. It involves securing the cloud environment from unauthorized access, data breaches, and other threats. Cloud security is a shared responsibility between cloud providers and customers. Cloud providers are responsible for securing the underlying infrastructure, while customers are responsible for securing their applications and data.
Centralized cloud inspection is a security practice that involves inspecting all cloud traffic in a central location. This can be done using a variety of tools, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and traffic monitoring tools.
