Comparison Table: SHIELDGate(RBI) vs SBC(VDI) vs CBC
This document is a comparative analysis of the security effectiveness, implementation efficiency, and operational complexity of web browser-based security solutions such as RBI (Remote Browser Isolation), VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure), and CBC (Client-Based Control).
| Category | SHIELDGate (RBI) | VDI | CBC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Structure | Complete remote isolation of browser execution | Running a browser on the central VDI | Install the agent on the user terminal browser. |
| Threat Approach | ★★★★★ Do not allow threat sources to enter internally. | ★★★ Access control only at the session level. | ★★ Detection and blocking within the terminal |
| Zero-Day Attack Response | ★★★★★ Exploitation of browser vulnerabilities not possible | ★★★ VDI OS/Browser Vulnerability Impact | ★★ Device infection upon undetection |
| Ransomware Response | ★★★★★ Internal inflow is structurally impossible. | ★★★ Possibility of Internal Diffusion in VDI | ★★ Internal spread upon terminal infection |
| Network Worm / Virus | ★★★★★ No internal propagation path | ★★★ VDI internal propagation possible | ⚠️ Possible internal network propagation upon terminal infection. |
| Attack Surface | Minimum (screen streaming/rendering) | Intermediate (VDI OS + Browser) | Large (OS + Browser + Agent) |
| Internal network protection level | ★★★★★ Complete logical separation | ★★★ Logical separation | ★★ Device dependency |
| Cost Structure | ★★★★ Centralized / Simplification | ★★ High cost of VDI infrastructure | ★★★ Low initial cost |
| Construction Efficiency | ★★★★★ Browser only provided | ★★ VDI construction/operation complexity | ★★★★ Quick deployment available |
| Operational Complexity | ★★★★★ No need for patch and OS management. | ⚠️★★ VDI OS·Image Management | ★★★ Agent management by device |
| User Experience | ★★★★ Web-based, lightweight | ★★★★ Similar PC environment | ★★★★★ Local browser same |
| Impact Scope in Case of Security Incident | ★★★★★ Immediate disposal on a session basis | ★★★ VDI Unit Impact | ⚠️ Device unit → Internal diffusion possible |
