Imagine being able to turn every browser that accesses your web service into a secure endpoint, ensuring a safe, controlled interaction. Imagine being able to roll it out from the server side without forcing users to change their browser or their online behavior. The dotFX Managed Browser Service can do all this more easily than you might imagine.

Nobody can deny that the emergence of the Internet browser as a universal online access device was a major enabler for the growth of eBusiness. But today it represents one of the main risk factors and inhibitors to further growth. Its effectiveness has been undermined by massive growth in the amount of browser malware in circulation with its ever-expanding abilities to steal, hijack, subvert and sabotage.

With most of the world’s leading Internet security analysts, we believe that the safest working assumption for web service providers is that the user’s browser and desktop are compromised and thus fundamentally unsafe.

In other words, the browser is broken. But it is still the de facto universal access device, and it is unreasonable to suppose that this will change quickly. That’s why we at dotFX have developed the Managed Browser Service - an easy to use online service allowing web service providers to turn their users’ browsers into secure endpoints. The whole solution can be setup and rolled out from the server side, with minimal impact on users, but extraordinary gains in the security of online transactions and sessions.
