IIJ ADDS BROWSER ISOLATION FUNCTION TO ITS ZTNA SERVICE, "SAFOUS"

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 (Bernama) -- Internet Initiative Japan Inc (IIJ), one of Japan's leading Internet-access and comprehensive network solutions providers, has announced the addition of a new remote browser isolation function, “Browser Isolation”, to its zero-trust network access (ZTNA) service, “Safous”, which is mainly available for users in the U.S. and Asia, starting Sept 28.

According to a statement, the Safous platform is a zero-trust remote access service that provides application-level control over corporate applications and external "software as a service" (SaaS) access from a remote environment.

This optional Browser Isolation function is Safous' proprietary, sandbox-based virtual browser that allows users to access applications and SaaS virtually, eliminating browser-based threats and providing more secure access.

"Kasm Technologies is honored to provide Kasm Workspaces remote browser isolation, our web-native secure remote access and DevOps-enabled container streaming technology, to Safous' Browser Isolation function. Browser Isolation is an industry-leading, cost-effective, and secure browser-based remote access solution," said Justin Travis, Co-founder and CEO of Kasm Technologies.

One of the benefits of utilising virtual browsers is that they defend corporate networks from risky websites. Browser Isolation provides a virtual browser that allows users to access business applications and external SaaS applications securely -- even if their PCs are vulnerable.

This function also prohibits users from downloading and executing malicious files that come from email, eliminating the threat of intrusion through the Internet. Website content is streamed to user browsers, allowing them to access any web application safely.

Founded in 1992, IIJ is one of Japan's leading Internet-access and comprehensive network solutions providers. IIJ and its group companies provide total network solutions that mainly cater to high-end corporate customers.

IIJ's services include high-quality Internet connectivity services, system integration, cloud computing services, security services and mobile services.

Moreover, IIJ has built one of the largest Internet backbone networks in Japan that is connected to the United States, the United Kingdom and Asia.
