Zero Trust Network Access
Integrated ZTNA with native RDP and SSH clients eliminates VPN complexity. Verify device posture before granting application access.
One browser to secure all your applications
Sophos Protected Browser integrates Zero Trust Network Access, Secure Web Gateway, and granular data controls in a hardened Chromium browser.
Sophos Workspace Protection overview
The challenge of securing hybrid work
Protecting remote and hybrid workers has required multiple products, complex configuration, and significant cost. Organizations need to secure cloud application access, prevent data leakage, and protect against web-based threats while maintaining a transparent user experience.
Traditional solutions require VPN infrastructure, separate web filtering services, data loss prevention tools, and complex browser policies. Each layer adds cost and complexity without full integration.
Integrated security capabilities
Sophos Protected Browser consolidates six essential security functions into a single application managed through Sophos Central.
SaaS application control
Monitor SaaS usage, enforce access policies, and establish data boundaries across cloud applications your organization uses.
Secure web gateway and DNS protection
Block malicious sites and enforce acceptable use policies. DNS Protection over HTTPS uses Sophos AI threat intelligence.
Hardened browser
Chromium-based browser hardened against exploits while maintaining a familiar user experience. Users work without friction.
Data boundary controls
Granular controls over copy/paste, screen capture, uploads, downloads, and printing. Data redaction capabilities prevent leakage.
Sophos Central management
Unified management console for all Sophos products. Configure policies, monitor activity, and integrate with existing deployments.
Secure application access without VPN complexity
Organizations need to provide secure access to business applications for workers on and off the network. Sophos Protected Browser integrates Zero Trust Network Access for seamless, policy-based application access.
- ZTNA makes applications invisible to the internet while providing authorized access
- Native RDP and SSH client support eliminates separate remote access tools
- SaaS application controls determine who can access cloud services
- Device posture assessment blocks compromised devices from accessing applications
- Synchronized Security integrates with Sophos Endpoint and Firewall for automated response
Control generative AI usage without blocking productivity
Generative AI tools offer significant productivity benefits but create data exposure risks. Sophos Protected Browser allows organizations to adopt approved AI services while preventing sensitive data leakage.
- Determine which generative AI applications users can access
- Block unsanctioned AI services to prevent shadow IT
- Monitor AI usage and gain visibility into adoption patterns
- Control copy/paste, upload, and download to prevent data exposure
- Enforce data redaction for sensitive information in AI prompts
Prevent data leakage with granular controls
Accidental data exposure through file uploads, screenshots, and copy/paste operations creates compliance and security risks. Sophos Protected Browser provides granular data boundary controls that are straightforward to configure.
- Restrict copy/paste operations from specific applications
- Block screenshots and screen recordings of sensitive data
- Prevent printing from applications that contain confidential information
- Control file uploads and downloads at the application level
- Data redaction masks sensitive information before it leaves the browser
Block threats at the browser level
Remote workers and devices are exposed to browser-based attacks that attempt to exploit vulnerabilities or trick users. Sophos Protected Browser integrates defense layers to prevent breaches before they reach endpoints.
- Integrated Secure Web Gateway blocks malicious and risky websites
- DNS Protection prevents connections to known threat infrastructure
- Browser hardening protects against exploits targeting Chromium vulnerabilities
- Device posture assessment isolates compromised devices until remediation
- Synchronized Security shares threat intelligence with Sophos Endpoint and Firewall
