The modern workforce operates beyond traditional boundaries. Contractors use their own laptops, and hybrid employees embrace BYOD, to access critical systems with devices IT never touches. This flexibility powers business agility, but it also creates a massive security blind spot. How do you secure what you don’t control?

Enter the Check Point Enterprise Browser. It’s a Chromium-based browser that extends Zero Trust security to any unmanaged device, securing access without sacrificing user experience.

The Unmanaged Device Dilemma

For security teams, unmanaged devices present a difficult equation. Consider these common scenarios:

  • A third-party developer needs temporary access to an internal database from their personal MacBook.
  • A healthcare worker wants to review patient records on their home computer while maintaining compliance.
  • A financial advisor requires CRM access during a client meeting.

Each situation introduces significant risk:

  • Zero visibility into device hygiene, such as antivirus status, OS updates, or disk encryption.
  • No control over data leakage between corporate applications and personal environments.
  • Limited enforcement of corporate security policies on devices outside your management.
  • Compliance gaps that could lead to failed audits in regulated industries.

Organizations often resort to cumbersome workarounds, like shipping temporary laptops or relying on VPN access. These approaches are costly, inefficient, and often fail to deliver true Zero Trust control.

A Secure Browser for the Untrusted Endpoint

The Check Point Enterprise Browser transforms any unmanaged device into a secure and compliant device. It creates an isolated, policy-enforced workspace for the duration of a session and wipes critical data when closed. This approach not only strengthens your security posture but also cuts down on IT overhead by eliminating the need for temporary hardware, VPN provisioning, or MDM rollouts.

Enterprise Browser enforces security only when needed, bringing Zero Trust to devices you don’t own without requiring persistent software or intrusive endpoint control.

Core Capabilities

Enterprise Browser is built on a foundation of advanced security features designed for untrusted environments.

Strong Data Isolation

The browser creates a secure container that completely separates enterprise applications and data from the underlying operating system. This prevents unauthorized data transfers, blocking potential leakage to personal apps or local storage.

Integrated Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Administrators can enforce granular DLP policies directly within the browser to prevent data exfiltration. Key controls include:

  • Blocking or restricting file downloads and uploads.
  • Disabling copy/paste and print actions.
  • Applying watermarks to documents and the browser screen to deter unauthorized screen captures.
Agentless Device Posture Check

Before granting access, the browser verifies the device’s security posture without installing a persistent agent. Access is granted only if the device meets your predefined security requirements.

Complete Session Visibility and Auditing

Gain deep insight into user activity for compliance and forensic investigations.  For the most sensitive applications, it supports full session recording, capturing keystrokes and screen activity to ensure a complete audit trail.

A Layered Approach to Zero Trust

Enterprise Browser enhances your existing security architecture. It integrates seamlessly with Check Point’s SASE solution, allowing you to create a layered security strategy managed from a single console.

  • Low-Risk Scenarios: Use Agentless ZTNA, single application access via a web portal, for frictionless access to non-sensitive applications.
  • High-Risk Scenarios: Deploy Enterprise Browser for users who handle sensitive data, such as privileged users, contractors, or employees in regulated industries.

This flexible approach allows you to apply the right level of security based on user role, device trust, and data sensitivity, all managed through a unified policy engine.

When to Use Enterprise Browser

While Agentless ZTNA is effective for many use cases, Enterprise Browser provides critical enhanced control in specific situations:

  • Third-Party Contractors: Grant temporary, monitored access to developers, consultants, or logistics partners while preventing data theft.
  • BYOD in Regulated Industries: Enable employees to access sensitive data from personal devices while maintaining compliance.
  • Privileged User Access: Securely provide developers and administrators access to critical systems while logging every action and enforcing strict controls.
  • Merger & Acquisition Integration: Deliver immediate, secure access to new employees during organizational transitions without waiting for device provisioning.
The Check Point Advantage

Enterprise Browser is a core component of the Check Point SASE platform offering unique benefits:

  • SASE Integration: A unified SSO experience for managing Agentless ZTNA and Enterprise Browser policies.
  • Complete Policy Control: Enforce any ADMX-based Chromium policy to align browser behavior with corporate security standards.
  • Proven Threat Prevention: Leverage Check Point’s world-class security intelligence to protect against phishing, malware, and other web-based threats.
Secure What You Don’t Own

The rise of the hybrid workforce demands a new approach to endpoint security. With the Check Point Enterprise Browser, your organization can finally close the unmanaged device security gap.

  • Convert any unmanaged device into a secure device.
  • Enforce Zero Trust policies without user friction.
  • Meet compliance requirements across all user types.
  • Strengthen your security posture while empowering productivity.

The future of work happens everywhere. Your security should too.
