Comparison Material
This document discusses web browser-based security solutions such as RBI (Remote Browser Isolation) and VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure),
This is a document comparing the security effects, construction efficiency, and operational complexity of the CBC (Client-Based Control) method from various angles.
| division | SHIELDGate (RBI) | VDI | CBC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Structure | Complete Remote Isolation of Browser Execution | Running Browser on Central VDI | Installing the agent on the user device browser |
| Threat Approach | ★★★★★ Do not allow threat sources to enter internally | ★★★ Access control only on a session basis | ★★ Detection and Blocking on the Device |
| Zero-Day Attack Response | ★★★★★ Unable to exploit browser vulnerabilities | ★★★ VDI OS/Browser Vulnerability Impact | ★★ Device Infection on Undetected Threat |
| Ransomware Response | ★★★★★ Internal inflow is structurally impossible | ★★★ Possibility of Internal Spread in VDI | ★★ Internal Spread upon Device Infection |
| Network Worm / Virus | ★★★★★ No internal propagation path | ★★★ VDI Internal Propagation Possible | ⚠️ Possible internal network propagation upon device infection |
| Attack Surface | Minimum (Screen Streaming/Rendering) | Intermediate (VDI OS + Browser) | Large (OS + Browser + Agent) |
| Internal Network Protection Level | ★★★★★ Completely Logical Separation | ★★★ Logical Separation | ★★ Device Dependency |
| Cost Structure | ★★★★ Centralized / Simplified | ★★ High Cost of VDI Infrastructure | ★★★ Low Initial Cost |
| Construction Efficiency | ★★★★★ Browser only | ★★ VDI Construction/Operation Complexity | ★★★★ Fast Deployment Available |
| Operational Complexity | ★★★★★ No need for patching or OS management | ⚠️★★ VDI OS·Image Management | ★★★ Device-specific Agent Management |
| User Experience | ★★★★ Web-based, lightweight | ★★★★ Similar PC Environment | ★★★★★ Local Browser Same |
| Impact Scope in Case of Security Incident | ★★★★★ Immediate Disposal by Session | ★★★ Impact of VDI Units | ⚠️ Device unit → Possible internal diffusion |
