Remote Browser (CAT-MIP-000000337)

Accepted • 2025-09-19 • by roop

Definition

A Remote Browser is a virtualized or cloud-hosted web browser session that runs on a remote server rather than the local device. It allows users to interact with web content securely without exposing their endpoint or internal network. In MSP and security-focused environments, remote browsers are used for isolating risky web activity, protecting against zero-day threats, and enforcing browsing policies without compromising the local system.
