DefensX Remote Browser Isolation vs VirtualBrowser

DefensX Remote Browser Isolation runs browsing sessions in a secure cloud environment instead of on the user’s device. The company says users receive a pixel-rendered version of webpages rather than raw web content, with unknown threats, zero-day vulnerabilities, and advanced malware contained before reaching the device. The feature is part of the Premium package, which includes Core features and 90-day log retention. DefensX lists extension, macOS, web, and Windows platforms, with supported browsers including Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Brave, ChatGPT Atlas, Chromium, and Vivaldi. Installation is documented for Windows 7 and later and macOS 20.6 and later. Trial subscriptions are available without a minimum commitment, and customers can start with one license. Pricing is on request. DefensX identifies enterprises and managed service providers as customers, distributes through channel partners, and lists ConnectWise PSA, Autotask, HaloPSA, Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and Duo integrations.

VirtualBrowser moves browsing into a remote server or virtual container and streams the rendered pages to users. Web code does not run on the user’s computer, and the container and its data are removed when a session ends. Administrators can set site-specific rules for keyboard use, copying and pasting, uploads, downloads, printing, read-only access, and camera or microphone use. The administration console supports remote document previews and watermarks. The product blocks tracking cookies and includes an ad-blocking extension. It also supports online video meetings, including Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and Webex, with controls for cameras, microphones, and screen sharing. Organizations can use SAML or LDAP authentication and route browsing through a proxy. Deployment is available as SaaS hosted in Europe or on customer servers; the on-premise option lists ICAP content-analysis integration. VirtualBrowser is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge across operating systems, and says its browsing security solution is CSPN-certified. It runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web. Pricing is on request.
