Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser
#264 · Level 3 · Modern architecture · Web, mobile and business appsConcept
Section titled “Concept”Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser is a secure browser that runs in the cloud, which employees use to access office web apps — the data does not come to their own device. The browser actually runs in AWS, and only its picture is streamed to the employee’s own browser. Admins set the rules, such as whether copy-paste, download or print is allowed. Login happens through the company’s existing identity provider. Each session is temporary, so no data is left behind when it ends.
