Secure browser-based activity without relying on legacy architectures or clunky add-ons.
Privileged activity now takes place across cloud consoles, administrative portals, SaaS platforms, and industrial web interfaces. Yet many of these browser-based sessions remain outside traditional privileged access controls:
When sensitive sessions run in a local browser, the user’s device becomes part of the trusted access path. Cookies, cached content, downloads, and active sessions can remain behind, especially on unmanaged contractor or vendor devices.
Once privileged credentials reach the user’s browser, they may be saved, exposed, or reused after the authorised task has ended.
Authentication determines who gets in. It does not necessarily control where the user navigates, what they copy, or which files they upload and download after access is granted.
Application logs can record an action, but they rarely reveal the context surrounding it. Security teams may know that a change occurred without knowing what the operator saw, entered, or intended.
External providers need fast access to critical web applications, often from devices the organisation cannot manage. VPNs, agents, extensions, and intermediary systems introduce friction without always providing consistent session-level control.
Each session runs in a containerised browser between the user and the application. The endpoint is never in direct contact with the target, and the container is destroyed the moment the session closes, leaving nothing behind on either side.
Full session video, events and contextual metadata captured in real time and retained alongside every other privileged session — so a web session and an SSH session produce the same class of proof.
Authorise by user, domain, schedule and duration, then restrict clipboard use, file upload and download within the session itself. Control applies to what happens after login, not only to who gets in.
Agentless and fully browser-based. A user opens a controlled session in a few clicks from any device, including an unmanaged third-party machine you will never administer.
Instead of allowing the endpoint browser to connect directly to the target application, WALLIX brokers the session through an isolated, disposable browser. The user interacts with the application through a streamed experience, while policy, identity and session evidence are enforced centrally.
Privileged access doesn't stop at IT. Vendors, business users and operators managing sensitive web interfaces fall under the same governance as your administrators, closing one of the most common gaps in PAM coverage.
Users reach their applications the way they always have, in a browser that looks and behaves as they expect. No new tool, no retraining, and no reason to look for a workaround.
Web access is managed from the same WALLIX console that governs the rest of your privileged access, so onboarding or offboarding a vendor takes [minutes], not a new process.
Integrators, MSPs and maintenance providers often connect from laptops you'll never manage. Give them the access they need, for as long as they need it, and keep a complete record once they log off.
Backup platforms, hypervisors and firewalls are all run through a browser, and backup consoles are a common stop for ransomware operators. Put every session on them under governance and on the record.
Industrial HMIs and web consoles are often serviced remotely by equipment vendors. Keep a clean break between their laptops and your production systems, with every intervention traceable for compliance.

FAQs
Remote browser isolation for privileged web access provides a secure way to access sensitive web applications while reducing direct interaction between the user’s browser and the target application.
Compared with more traditional privileged access approaches, it can provide a smoother user experience, reduce administrative complexity, and enable more granular control over privileged web sessions.
By isolating browser activity, organisations can also strengthen application security by limiting exposure to page code and restricting common techniques used to inspect, modify, or exploit web content.
No. Users cannot change the URL to navigate freely to other destinations outside the scope defined by the administrator.
Access is routed through a controlled component and restricted to the specific web application, domain, or subdomain the administrator has authorised. For example, if a user is granted access to portal.azure.com, manually changing the URL to another destination such as sensitive.azure.com would be blocked unless that destination has also been explicitly authorised.
