However, threat actors seem to be determined to remain one step ahead. Browser attacks are increasing,
with attackers exploiting new and old vulnerabilities, and developing new techniques such as HTTP
Smuggling.

As a result, remote browser isolation (RBI) is becoming an increasingly core principle of Zero Trust
security that stipulates that no device or user – not even the browser – can be trusted.

4. One size doesn’t fit all
Fourthly, it is vital for organisations to remember that one size simply doesn’t fit all when it comes to
security, and bespoke technology combinations and strategies are still the way to go.

Recent reports from Gartner have suggested that many organisations are pursuing strategies focused
on security vendor consolidation, cutting the number of providers they are working with for their security
needs. This has been particularly prevalent in more complicated arenas such as secure access service
edge (SASE) and extended detection and response (XDR).

The motivation is less cost focused, and more about reducing complexity and improving risk management
abilities. And while policies of continuous improvement are always going to be encouraged when it comes
to security, it is important that organisations don’t discard best of breed solutions in the process.
