Organizations Gain an Easy-to-Adopt Browser for
Employees and Third Parties That Powers Security, Privacy and
Productivity
CyberArk IMPACT 23 – CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), the
Identity Security company, today introduced CyberArk Secure
Browser. This first-of-its-kind Identity Security web browser
enables organizations to better protect against attacks with a
flexible, identity-based approach to securing employee and
third-party access to enterprise resources.
By 2030, enterprise browsers will be the core platform for
delivering workforce productivity and security software on managed
and unmanaged devices for a seamless hybrid work experience.1
Browsers provide a vital connection between identities,
applications and data, making them a prominent attack vector and a
target for cybercriminals – especially in distributed,
work-from-anywhere environments.
A rise in post-MFA authentication attacks targeting session
cookies reinforces the need for defense-in-depth strategies. Now,
CyberArk is applying its deep cybersecurity experience, history of
Identity Security innovation and intelligent privilege controls to
web browsing. Part of the CyberArk Identity Security Platform, the
Chromium-based CyberArk Secure Browser supports enterprise Zero
Trust initiatives with integrated security, centralized policy
management and productivity tools while delivering a familiar user
experience. The CyberArk Identity Security Platform delivers the
most robust, layered approach to address the number one area of
cybersecurity risk: credential access.2
CyberArk Secure Browser is designed to eliminate existing
security gaps between consumer-focused browsers and SaaS
applications, endpoint-based controls and identity providers. By
extending the CyberArk Identity Security Platform to the browser
itself, CyberArk makes it easy for IT teams to tailor security,
privacy and productivity controls on managed and unmanaged devices.
Key features include:
- Cookieless Browsing: Cookieless browsing is a key
differentiating feature that allows users to access and use
web-based resources without exposing cookie files to attackers. The
cookies will be stored remotely on CyberArk servers enabling secure
and seamless web browsing without saving cookie files on the
endpoints. This approach makes it difficult for attackers or third
parties to steal, forge, alter or manipulate cookies to gain
unauthorized access to sensitive resources and helps ensure that
users' web sessions, data and accounts remain confidential and
secure.
- Data Exfiltration Protections: Companies can control the
browsing experience with fine-grained policies designed to prevent
data exfiltration attempts that can compromise corporate data.
- Password Replacement: CyberArk Secure Browser features
patent-pending password replacement functionality. Instead of
showing stored credentials for privileged resources or websites,
the browser displays a one-time alphanumeric string. This string
works only once, only in CyberArk Secure Browser and only for
intended targets – eliminating the possibility that end users will
see these privileged credentials in plain text.
- Extensibility: Third-party identity providers and
out-of-the-box integrations are supported with the CyberArk
Identity Security Platform solutions, including CyberArk Workforce
Password Management and CyberArk Secure Web Sessions. This allows
companies to customize session protections, access controls and
credential management to each user based on their roles. It also
works in conjunction with CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager to
mitigate potentially risky web access and vulnerable
endpoints.
- Quick Access Bar: The built-in quick access sidebar
helps ensure end users can utilize their Single Sign-On (SSO)
credentials to securely access frequently used apps, third-party
tools and CyberArk privileged access management resources directly
from CyberArk Secure Browser with the click of a button.
“CyberArk is constantly innovating – working to protect our
customers against current cybersecurity risk and emerging threats.
Based on trends impacting hybrid work environments and research
generated by our CyberArk Labs and Red Team, developing an
enterprise browser – with an identity-first, security-first
approach - was a natural progression for our business,” said Gil
Rapaport, general manager, Access at CyberArk. "CyberArk Secure
Browser represents a new era of web browsing, where security,
privacy and productivity are the top priorities.”
Dynamically mirroring controls and access policies existing on
Chrome and Edge browsers that are already deployed on the end
user’s device, CyberArk Secure Browser reduces IT overhead and
accelerates the deployment timeline for employees, contractors and
vendors.
Planned availability for CyberArk Secure Browser on Windows
endpoints is by the end of 2023. To learn more about CyberArk
