Manage Cloud Browser Settings


Click 'Configure' > 'Policy Settings' > 'Cloud Browser'  
  • The cloud browser feature lets you specify that sites blocked by a security rule are instead opened inside a virtual environment.
  • Virtual browsing sessions are isolated from the host operating system, so any malware downloaded cannot infect the device and/or the network.
  • You can choose to open all sites from the security category in the virtual environment, or pick specific sub-categories. For example, you might want to outright block sites in the ‘Malware’ category, but grant virtual access to sites in the ‘Bitcoin related’ category.
