Protect your applications

You need to provide secure access to your important business applications to those that need it, while also securing them from potential hacks and attacks. Sophos Protected Browser integrates Sophos ZTNA and SaaS app controls for a seamless and secure experience.

  • ZTNA makes your apps invisible to the internet while providing secure access to all your workers on and off the network.
  • ZTNA is integrated into Sophos Protected Browser for a seamless experience including direct support for SSH and RDP.
  • SaaS app controls also enable you to determine who has access to important applications you rent.
  • Device posture assessment and Synchronized Security support can be used in policies to temporarily block access to important applications for compromised devices.

Safely adopt Generative AI

Generative AI presents enormous opportunities to streamline workflows, but also enormous risks for exposing sensitive data. The web, DNS, and data boundary controls in Sophos Protected Browser make it easy to safely embrace the Generative AI solution you want while avoiding shadow AI usage.

  • Control what Generative AI apps and services your users can access and block unsanctioned services.
  • Gain visibility and insights into generative AI usage.
  • Protect sensitive data from generative AI exposure by controlling copy/paste, upload, and download activities.

Protect your data

Sensitive data sharing mistakes are a common issue that can be easily prevented, even if you’re dealing with a rogue user.  Sophos Protected Browser includes sophisticated data boundary controls that are easy to set up to prevent costly mistakes. 

  • Limit the ability to copy and paste data from select applications.
  • Block taking screenshots of applications and their data.
  • Prevent printing of certain application data.
  • Control what can be uploaded and downloaded from the browser.

Protect your workspaces from breaches

Your remote workers, devices, and guests may be vulnerable to web browser or email attacks that attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in the browser itself, web content, or user behavior to get a foothold on your network. Sophos Protected Browser integrates a full Secure Web Gateway (SWG) and works together with Sophos DNS Protection to provide comprehensive workspace protection from attacks and breaches.

  • Block malicious, risky, and unwanted websites with the integrated SWG and DNS Protection.
  • Know that the browser used to access your corporate apps is hardened against attacks and exploits.
  • Device assessment and Synchronized Security ensure that compromised devices are isolated until they are cleaned up.
