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).

CategorySHIELDGate (RBI)VDICBC
Basic StructureComplete remote isolation of browser executionRunning a browser on the central VDIInstall 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 SurfaceMinimum (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
