The rapid rise of generative AI in business

Since the massive arrival of tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude, the use cases of generative AI have exploded: automated writing, code generation, translation, customer support, decision support... These new digital assistants boost employee productivity.

But this rapid adoption came without solid safeguards. And with it, a new risk surface has emerged: The web browser. Because it is through it that all interactions with these AIs, often hosted by third-party services, go through.

Security and compliance risks

The dangers associated with the unsupervised use of generative AIs are numerous:

• Sensitive data leak : users can, without wanting to, enter critical information (source code, personal data, confidential documents) into the tool.
• Loss of intellectual property : once shared, information becomes potentially reusable by the AI model.
• Regulatory non-compliance : RGPD, sectoral rules (finance, health...), directives such as NIS2, require control of data flows.
• Shadow AI : Users bypass internal restrictions to access AIs through personal or insecure connections.
• Lack of visibility for IT teams : it is often impossible to know who is using which AI, when, and with what data.

Remote Browser Isolation (RBI): a concrete response to these challenges

Faced with this new challenge, VirtualBrowser offers a proactive approach: fully isolate access to generative AIs in a virtualized browser.

100% isolated navigation

Thanks to Remote Browser Isolation (RBI), generative AI tools are consulted from a browser hosted on a remote server. The user station only receives a stream of pixels. No code runs locally, no sensitive data can leak.

Finely controlled rights

The administrator can allow or disallow the following actions:

• Copy/paste
• File upload
• Keyboard input
• Generated content download

Example: a user will be able to copy an AI response, but will not be able to paste internal content.

Compliance made easy

The RBI acts as a shield against third-party AIs: flows are under control, protected data, logged actions. An asset to meet the requirements of ANSSI, the RGPD or internal policies.

Concrete benefits for the company

✅ Critical data security
The technical barrier prevents any involuntary exfiltration via a chatbot.

✅ Guided and smooth adoption of AI
Employees can continue to use AIs, without friction, in a controlled environment.

✅ Shadow IT reduction
No need to block AIs anymore. By supervising them via the RBI, we avoid workarounds.

✅ Visibility and traceability for the IT department
Each use can be monitored, access rules are centralized.

✅ BYOD compatibility/uncontrolled workstations
The RBI works via a simple URL, on any device. No agents to deploy.

Towards responsible and controlled AI

Generative AI is a major opportunity for businesses but should not become a new Achilles heel. Remote Browser Isolation is not a workaround: it's a A real lever for secure digital transformation. By isolating access to generative AIs, VirtualBrowser allows you to get the best out of it... without exposing the company to the worst.
