Forcepoint Remote Browser Isolation review
A hybrid browser isolation option for organizations already using Forcepoint security products.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Forcepoint Remote Browser Isolation protects users and endpoints by running risky or uncategorized web sessions in remote browser environments. It is designed for organizations, including enterprises and government agencies, that need safer access for general browsing, guest users, contractors, BYOD, kiosks, or potentially dangerous websites. The product supports web, Windows, and macOS environments, with cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployment options.
Its main distinction is a hybrid isolation approach. Secure Streaming provides pixel-based rendering, while Secure Rendering delivers sanitized HTML and CSS. Zero Trust Content Disarm and Reconstruction handles documents and images, and Safe Surf mode supports read-only browsing. Administrators can apply selective or full web traffic isolation and control uploads, downloads, clipboard actions, and printing. Reporting covers browsing, file transfers, and security threats, giving teams visibility into activity alongside control over content movement.
Forcepoint is a particularly natural fit for teams already operating Forcepoint Web Security, Forcepoint ONE Security Service Edge, Forcepoint NGFW, or Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention. The product is licensed rather than offered as a free plan, and pricing is handled through contact with Forcepoint. Its deployment flexibility and policy controls suit security programs that need browser isolation tied to broader web security and data protection policies. Organizations seeking a narrower, simpler browser isolation tool may prefer a product with fewer controls and a more direct purchasing path.
