Zscaler, the leader in cloud security, has acquired Appsulate, a browser isolation company providing users secure access to web-based applications and content by rendering safe pixels to the browser, protecting corporate endpoints from security concerns.

Browser isolation is especially suited for security sensitive verticals such as financial services and defense. It is highly effective for use cases where the internet or application content should not be downloaded to the end point due to security or data protection concerns; instead it should be rendered as pixels in the browser. Zscaler plans to incorporate browser isolation technology into its extensible platform.
