What is responsible for securing web access for managed and unmanaged devices?

An enterprise browser secures web access by applying organizational security controls directly within the browser experience. This is especially useful for both managed and unmanaged devices because browser-based controls can protect access to SaaS applications, web resources, and sensitive data even when the endpoint is not fully controlled by the organization. Enterprise browsers may enforce policy, isolate risky activity, control downloads and uploads, inspect web sessions, and reduce data leakage. An IDS detects suspicious activity but does not secure browser access. Cloud workload protection protects workloads such as servers, containers, or cloud runtime environments, not user web browsing. VLANs segment network traffic but do not provide browser-level controls for managed and unmanaged devices. As work increasingly happens through web and SaaS applications, securing the browser becomes an important way to control user interaction with enterprise resources.
