 Conceal, formerly known as NetAbstraction, today announced the launch of the Conceal Platform, which is based on years of experience supporting sensitive U.S. government and Fortune100 clients. The company also introduced its newest product, a transformative addition to the security industry called ConcealBrowse that performs pre- and post-processing of code on a computer to protect against browser-borne attacks including RATs, Trojans, Worms, Ransomware, Browser Hijacking and more.

“Web browsers are a preferred vector for launching malware and other attacks, because they are becoming the de facto interface for accessing enterprise applications and resources. Also, now that they support WebASM (https://webassembly.org/), browsers are functioning as a separate operating system,” said Dustin Webber, Chief Security Officer for Conceal. “To protect against threats that target browsers, ConcealBrowse pre- and post-processes code in an isolated environment at the edge to ensure that malware or malicious files never execute on endpoints.”

Unlike proxy-based approaches which only process incomplete, predefined data, ConcealBrowse runs on the endpoint, supports all operating systems and processes all code to determine whether or not it is malicious, and places suspicious content in isolation so malware cannot execute on the device. ConcealBrowse does not change the user experience while dynamically and transparently moving browser sessions in and out of isolation as needed. To support enterprise workforces, ConcealBrowse integrates with Microsoft Active Directory and other identity management systems.
