?Key points related to secure browsing

There are two key points to bear in mind related to secure browsing.

Firstly, any secure browsing solution requires a well-defined software tool. However, it will not be able to provide an effective solution, to companies or organizations without a powerful and up to date threat intelligence dictionary. ?

A secure browsing tool needs to offer encryption technology. Also a ?well-developed anti-malware capabilities to detect and block malicious software, phishing attempts, and other online threats that could compromise users or networks. Additionally, offering secure browsing warnings or notifications when malware is detected, secure authentications and the ability to offer omnichannel or cross-platform compatibility, for all types of user devices.

The other key point is, a threat intelligence dictionary.

This needs to have a comprehensive threat database of all known up to date malware of all types. Offering threat classification, to categorize on characteristics, behavior, and potential impact, providing analysts and security professionals with insights into the nature of different types of cyber threats.

It’s essential that both the secure browsing tool and the threat intelligence dictionary are able to work seamlessly,? to offer an optimal cybersecurity solution. ??

Use Cases related to secure browsing

Businesses: Companies of all sizes rely on secure browsing to protect their digital assets, customer data, and intellectual property. Secure browsing helps businesses maintain the confidentiality of proprietary information, secure online transactions, and protect their reputation by preventing data breaches and cyberattacks.

Government agencies: Governments at the local, regional, and national levels use secure browsing to protect sensitive government data, secure online communications, and defend against cyber threats targeting critical infrastructure and national security interests.

However, apart from these generic uses case explained above, there are also specific use cases that can be applied to very explicit scenarios or markets. Below, two of these use cases are explained.

Wi-Fi networks for Guests: There are many companies that have Wi-Fi for customers who need to be present at their sites or small branches for different reasons. From a bank branch to shops or governmental offices that require citizens to attend on-site for various reason. It is becoming ever more common to offer these people access to a guest Wi-Fi network.

However, to increase the cybersecurity of guest Wi-Fi network, an independent secure browsing system is essential to insure the productivity of the network. This will guarantee protection from any malware and will confirm an even spread of the use throughout the network, of all the users.?

Public transport: This is a clear use case where secure browsing is essential for various reasons. As the level of digitalization increases within the transport sector, there are more systems that need connectivity, such as ticketing systems, physical security networks with cameras, alerts and the Wi-Fi passenger (guest) network.
