## About Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser
Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser is a fully managed, cloud-native service that enables secure access to internal websites, software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, and the public internet. By streaming encrypted pixels from a remote browser session running in the AWS cloud to the user&#39;s local device, it ensures that sensitive corporate data never touches the end user&#39;s device, thereby mitigating the risk of unauthorized data exfiltration. This solution eliminates the need for IT departments to manage specialized client software, infrastructure, or virtual private network (VPN) connections, simplifying the management of secure web access. Key Features and Functionality: - Enhanced Security Controls: Administrators can enforce enterprise browser policies, including URL allow/block lists, and implement session-level controls for clipboard, file transfer, and printing. Access can be restricted to trusted networks or devices using IP Access Controls. - Data Protection: By isolating the actual browser and web content within AWS, no HTML, document object model (DOM), or sensitive company data is transmitted to the local machine, effectively reducing the risk of data exfiltration. - Simplified Management: The service is easy to set up and operate, with each session launching a fresh, fully patched version of the Chrome Browser, complete with company policies and settings applied. - Cost Efficiency: Starting at $7 per month, WorkSpaces Secure Browser offers a cost-effective solution for secure web access without the complexities associated with traditional virtual desktops or VPNs. - Support for Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD): Since it works with the web browser already installed on the end-user&#39;s device, it&#39;s ideal for organizations implementing BYOD initiatives, allowing employees to securely access company resources from their personal devices. Primary Value and User Solutions: Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser addresses the critical need for secure, managed web access in today&#39;s digital workplace. It provides a protected environment for users to access private websites and SaaS applications without exposing sensitive data to potential threats. By isolating the device, corporate network, and internet from each other, the browser attack surface is virtually eliminated. This solution is particularly beneficial for organizations looking to enhance security controls, protect data, simplify IT management, reduce costs, and support BYOD policies. It empowers customer support agents, back-office employees, and remote or hybrid workers by providing secure access to web-based applications and internal portals, thereby enabling productivity without compromising security.
