A new secure web browsing application based on Mozilla Firefox, that uses virtualisation technology to isolate it from Windows has been released by Kace, a subsidiary of Dell.
The secure app provides a ‘browser-in-a-sandbox’ that can contain threats from malware and prevent them from attacking the rest of a users system.
“If you can secure the browser, you have a better chance of stopping attacks before your anti-virus and anti-malware tools can detect them,” said Rob Meinhardt, chief executive and co-founder of Kace.
Kace has based the Secure Browser upon it’s own virtualisation technology and comes precomilied with Adobe Reader and Flash plugins. The Dell Kace Secure Browser is available as a free download and a Internet Explorer version is expected to be released later in the year.
