WorkSpaces Secure Browser works with a user's existing web browsers, without burdening IT with managing appliances, infrastructure, specialized client software, or virtual private network (VPN) connections. Web content is streamed to the user's web browser, while the actual browser and web content is isolated in AWS. By using the same underlying technologies that power AWS End User Computing services like Amazon WorkSpaces and Amazon AppStream 2.0, WorkSpaces Secure Browser can be more cost effective than traditional virtual desktops, and reduce complexity compared to providing company-owned devices with management software. WorkSpaces Secure Browser reduces the risk of data exfiltration by streaming web content. No HTML, document object model (DOM), or sensitive company data is transmitted to the local machine. By isolating the device, corporate network, and internet from each other, the browser attack surface is virtually eliminated. +Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser is a fully managed, cloud-native, hosted browser service used to securely access private websites and software-as-a-service (SaaS) web applications, interact with online resources, and browse the internet from a disposable container.
