Enterprise-wide deployment of Silo secures 20,000 users and enforces policy controls as global organization migrates to web based email
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Authentic8, makers of Silo, the patented secure cloud browser, announced today that it has been selected for an enterprise-wide deployment across a global organization of more than 20,000 users.
Building on increasing momentum across commercial and government organizations, this announcement further solidifies the position of a cloud browser platform as the solution to web risk.
2018 has been a year of significant growth for Authentic8’s Silo cloud browser, including:
Silo’s selection for deployment further enhances its leadership position in the emerging remote browser isolation category. According to Gartner, “Almost all successful attacks on users originate from the public internet and many involve web-based attacks. Security and risk management leaders can contain damage by using remote browser isolation to separate end-user internet browsing sessions from enterprise endpoints and networks.”1

Silo was selected by this global organization after a competitive evaluation of browser isolation solutions. This customer needed a way to enforce positive security and control for remote and headquarters-based users as the organization moved from an on-premise email environment to a web-based collaboration platform.
“We needed a way to ensure that our users had full access to the new suite regardless of their location, without undermining our security or data loss policies,” said the CISO of the organization. “After evaluating Silo’s embedded policy control capability, we gained not only enhanced control of web-based usage, but also comprehensive oversight of our users’ activities.”
“We built Silo to provide a more holistic approach to securing the web than other isolation vendors,” said Scott Petry, co-founder and CEO of Authentic8. “Remote execution of web code is not enough, and we see Silo’s centralized control of all web-based scenarios, including access controls and data policy enforcement, as the key differentiator in our selection with this customer.”
By selecting Silo, the organization can employ “follow me” policies directly within the browser, covering identity and access management, data policies, and compliance audit and oversight. Internal tests validate that customers have reduced load on network and devices, as well as improved their compliance and incident management processes. With Silo, customers can centralize controls directly in the browser, rather than relying on a cocktail of multi-vendor solutions to try to manage employee use of the web. By thinning out the portfolio of existing complicated and expensive point security solutions, IT organizations can return to what matters most - enabling the business.
