Why enterprise browser security belongs on your infrastructure, not theirs.
Because for finance, healthcare, and government, sending browser data to someone else's cloud is the risk, not the fix.
Your data never leaves your perimeter
Session data, URLs, and telemetry stay on infrastructure you own. Nothing is rendered or stored in a vendor cloud.
Works air-gapped
Deploy on VMs, containers, or bare metal, including networks that never touch the public internet.
Sovereignty by design
Meet GDPR, HIPAA, and data residency rules without carve-outs or trust-us promises from a third party.
Because the rules, the market, and the threat all shifted at once, and cloud-first browser security is on the wrong side of every one.
Regulators moved the line
Frameworks like EU Cloud III now grade vendors on who controls the stack, not just where data sits. Cloud-rendered browser security sits on the wrong side of it.
The market is consolidating into the cloud
As competitors get acquired and folded into vendor clouds, your session data flows further from your control, not closer.
AI agents live in the browser now
Autonomous browsing expands the attack surface inside your perimeter. You want that watched locally, not shipped out for someone else to inspect.
Here is how that plays out feature by feature.
