Light Point Security also ensures that the downloading of files doesn’t become a channel for malware to enter the network in addition to preventing sensitive data from being exfiltrated through file uploads. The company’s solution allows an organization’s administrators to set policies based on their requirements, restricting the types of files that users can download and upload.

“It is a common misconception that remote browsing results in poor performance with regard to streaming videos. However, we have defied this notion by developing a solution that is efficient as well as specifically focused on high-performance browsing and smooth streaming,” states Zuly. Furthermore, being plugged into the browser enables the solution to keep track of the user activity, which helps organizations monitor their employees from a productivity and insider threat perspective. Light Point Security provides clean and concise reports of how users interact with the web including the time spent on a particular website and the files uploaded and downloaded.

The effectiveness of Light Point Security’s browser isolation platform can be illustrated by how the company helped a client eliminate problems pertaining to web-based malware. The client had multiple security tools and products deployed, and yet, daily browsing resulted in the introduction of malware into their systems. They had even resorted to blocking a large section of the internet, which led to frustration among employees as many websites couldn’t be accessed. As a result, the IT team would constantly receive requests from users to grant access to websites that were necessary to get the job done. This strategy didn’t succeed because even traditionally safe websites displayed potentially malicious ads. After deploying Light Point Security’s solution, the client was able to allow employees to access the web without any restrictions, which also enabled the IT team to focus on more important areas of business.

Light Point Security has scripted many such success stories by constantly enhancing the flexibility of its solution to best meet the clients’ needs. The company now plans to expand its behavior analytics capabilities to provide organizations with richer and more intelligent reports with regard to their employees’ interaction with the web.
