Security giant Symantec plans to acquire Israel-based Fireglass in a move to add remote browser isolation technology to its security portfolio. Browser isolation is a proxy-based method that processes a Web session remotely rather than on the endpoint or in a sandbox. The technology also provides remote rendering of files and email attachments to avoid malicious downloads onto an endpoint machine. Gartner also has been bullish on isolation as a way to reduce Web-borne cyber attacks. Financial details of the deal weren’t disclosed, but Symantech says the transaction will be complete in the third quarter of this year.”]
