Secure browsing made simple
TightGate-Pro provides users with the familiar Firefox and Chrome browsers within a secure virtual environment. Browsing, working, and online communication function just as they would on a local computer, ensuring a seamless user experience.
All audio and video output is displayed directly on the user’s monitor and speakers, while the browser itself runs safely on a remote server, fully isolated from the internal network.
This delivers the look and feel of a standard browser – with the added benefit of enhanced network security and data protection.

Maximum safety when surfing
TightGate-Pro relies on Remote-Controlled Browser Technology (ReCoBS) and physically separates the web browser from the workstation. This keeps your network consistently isolated from the internet – attacks are reliably stopped.
