HP Sure Click Enterprise vs VirtualBrowser

HP Sure Click Enterprise is threat containment software for complex organizations with demanding security requirements. It isolates risky activity to protect endpoints, data, and credentials, using per-task micro-virtual machines and hardware-enforced isolation. HP says this approach helps prevent phishing and ransomware from corrupting PCs or moving laterally. The product includes a secure browser and credential protection. An isolated malware execution sandbox offers forensic insight into behavior and can identify previously unseen attack techniques. Administrators can manage policies and events centrally through cloud or on-premises deployments. Threat intelligence reports include MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and integrations are listed through STIX/TAXII. Enterprise controls include policies and role-based access control. Supported browsers are Internet Explorer, Chrome, Chromium, and Firefox. Supported attachments include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files when the relevant Microsoft Office or Adobe Acrobat software is installed. Sure Click Enterprise runs in self-hosted Windows environments and is sold separately; pricing directs buyers to contact HP Sales.

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.
