Compare Passages vs. Symantec Web Isolation

Passages allows your users to navigate any website and click on any link without jeopardizing your data or infrastructure, while you can effortlessly oversee and control the entire process. The various technologies and components integrated into Passages are well-established and have been fine-tuned over the past 15 years, originating from the robust Internet platforms developed by Ntrepid for the national security sector. These solutions have been rigorously tested against some of the most advanced and persistent threats in the cyber landscape. As corporate security breaches often originate from the web, traditional malware defenses and firewalls fall short in providing adequate protection. The answer lies in malware isolation, which enables you to contain and eradicate web-based malware through Passages, thereby safeguarding your critical data and infrastructure. With highly targeted attacks becoming the preferred method of skilled hackers, obscuring your IP address and other identifying details is crucial to protect yourself and your organization from these threats. This proactive approach not only enhances security but also ensures that your organization remains a step ahead of potential cyber adversaries.

Symantec Web Isolation operates by executing web sessions externally, allowing only a secure version of the content to be displayed in users' browsers, thus effectively blocking the entry of zero-day malware from websites to your devices. When paired with Symantec Secure Web Gateways, the system applies policies that redirect traffic from various uncategorized websites or those flagged as potentially harmful through Isolation, ensuring safe browsing experiences. Additionally, by collaborating with Symantec's messaging solutions, Web Isolation safeguards email links to thwart phishing attempts and credential theft. This mechanism ensures that emails containing links to harmful sites are unable to deliver malware, ransomware, and other sophisticated threats. Furthermore, by rendering web pages in a read-only format, it also stops users from inadvertently submitting corporate credentials or other sensitive data to untrustworthy or malicious sites, reinforcing overall cybersecurity measures. Ultimately, Web Isolation serves as a crucial layer of defense against the ever-evolving landscape of online threats.
