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.

Basic StructureComplete Remote Isolation of Browser ExecutionRunning Browser on Central VDIInstalling 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 SurfaceMinimum (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
